Ireland’s proximity to the rich, productive seas of the North East Atlantic provides an ideal resource on which to continue to develop the seafood sector. Ireland’s coastline, inshore and offshore waters contain some of the largest and most valuable sea fisheries resources in Europe.</span></p><p style='box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(5, 5, 5); font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;PingFang SC&quot;, &quot;Microsoft YaHei&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:13px;'><br /></p><p style='box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(5, 5, 5); font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;PingFang SC&quot;, &quot;Microsoft YaHei&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:13px;'><span style='box-sizing:border-box; font-size:18px; color:rgb(0, 0, 0);'>The NMPF supports management of sea-fisheries resources consistent with relevant environmental sustainability considerations and the development of the sector’s economic and social contribution to rural and coastal communities. The NMPF’s objectives in this sector include continuing to develop a sustainable seafood sector focused on competitiveness and innovation, with growth driven by a skilled workforce delivering value added products in line with market demands; promotion of a sustainable, profitable and self-reliant industry; sustaining primary food producers contributing to food security at a national and European level. The evaluation of potential impacts on any commercial sea fishing activities needs to be given full consideration. Engagement with the fishing industry and other relevant stakeholders should occur as early as possible in planning or proposal-related processes to afford a chance for proper consideration of the industry’s views.</span></p>作为岛国，渔业长期以来在爱尔兰的经济与社会发展中占据核心地位。爱尔兰毗邻东北大西洋这片富饶高产的海域，为该国持续发展水产捕捞产业提供了得天独厚的资源条件。爱尔兰的海岸线、近岸与远海水域，拥有欧洲规模最大、经济价值最高的海洋渔业资源之一。 国家海洋渔业计划（National Marine Fisheries Plan，NMPF）旨在遵循相关环境可持续性准则，开展海洋渔业资源管理，并推动该产业为乡村与沿海社区创造经济与社会价值。该计划在水产领域的目标包括：持续构建以竞争力与创新为核心的可持续水产产业，由具备专业技能的劳动力队伍依托市场需求开发高附加值产品，以此驱动产业增长；推动打造可持续、盈利且自主自立的渔业产业；维系初级食品生产者的生产能力，为国家及欧盟层面的粮食安全作出贡献。需充分评估各类商业海洋捕捞活动的潜在影响。在规划或提案相关流程的早期阶段，就应尽早与渔业行业及其他相关利益方开展沟通，以便能够充分考量行业的意见。
