Community-based fisheries management program

The American Samoa Islands and its surrounding waters contain historical, cultural, and natural resources that must be protected, managed, controlled and preserved for the benefit of all people of the Territory and future generations. The protection of these traditionally valuable resources will enhance and increase fish abundance and size for future catch.
When communities participate in the American Samoan Community Based Fisheries Management Program, they adopt a set of by-laws as part of the process. Until now, these have been very hard to enforce because they were not official rules or regulations of the American Samoan government and therefore communities had little authority to enforce rules that were broken by outsiders. To address this challenge, the AS Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources has been working with the Attorney General to develop a standard set of government rules regulations that communities can choose from when developing their fisheries management plans

美属萨摩亚群岛及其周边海域蕴含着历史、文化和自然资源，这些资源必须得到保护、管理和控制，以确保该领土所有人民及后世子孙的福祉。对这些传统上有价值的资源的保护将增强并增加未来渔获的鱼类数量和体型。当社区参与美属萨摩亚基于社区的渔业管理计划时，他们会采纳一系列作为流程一部分的法规。迄今为止，这些法规执行难度极大，因为它们并非美属萨摩亚政府的官方规则或法规，因此社区对外界违反的规则几乎没有执行权限。为应对这一挑战，美属萨摩亚海洋与野生动物资源部一直在与总检察长合作，制定一套标准化的政府规则和法规，供社区在制定渔业管理计划时选择。
