The implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) contributes to sustainable fisheries in various ways. One of them is by reviewing national policy and legal instruments to identify gaps which prevent a country from progressing towards full alignment with, and implementation of, an EAF. This diagnostic tool builds on the previous work of FAO by translating the 17 EAF components identified in the How-to Guide on legislating for an EAF into an EAF Legal Checklist for legal practitioners, policymakers and fisheries managers to use in conducting a preliminary assessment of selected policy and legal instruments and determining whether they are congruent an EAF. The outcomes of the assessment may result in decisions to amend existing national policies and/or legislation, or develop new policy and legal instruments that are aligned with the 17 EAF components, to ensure the full implementation of an EAF towards improving, in a holistic way, the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, biodiversity and ecosystems.

Legislating for an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, inter-sectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how an EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks. The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Madagascar with an EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for an EAF, are reflected in Madagascar's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of an EAF. This report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Madagascar. Drafted in July 2021, the report was submitted to the national authorities of Madagascar in October 2021. The Ministry of Fishery and Blue Economy endorsed this EAF Legal Report of Madagascar in May 2022.

To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed "A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks". This second edition of the legal report on the EAF contains a revised analysis of the extent to which the 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are incorporated in the United Republic of Tanzania's policy and legal instruments relevant to the fisheries sector and other relevant sectors of the country (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAF. This second edition of the EAF Legal Report of the United Republic of Tanzania is based on the findings from two missions carried out by FAO, with support from the EAF-Nansen Programme, to the United Republic of Tanzania. The first mission was undertaken in March 2023, when the first edition of the report was presented to the government and various other stakeholders, in Dodoma, and additional information was collected. Additional information was collected in the second mission, undertaken in August 2023, when FAO supported the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries of the United Republic of Tanzania in launching the process for the comprehensive review of the 2015 National Fisheries Policy and the 2003 Fisheries Act, as amended in 2020, from Mainland Tanzania, at a national workshop held in Morogoro. The second edition of the EAF Legal Report of the United Republic of Tanzania was endorsed by the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries in August 2023.

This diagnostic tool advances the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) through policy and legal frameworks. It is a key tool for use by any actor, including small-scale fishers, who is interested in contributing to the SSF Guidelines operationalization at the national level. By using this tool, users are able to recognize the national policy and legal instruments that are relevant to small-scale fisheries in a country, consistent with the SSF Guidelines. Users are also able to: assess policy coherence for SSF; assess the alignment of national fisheries policy and legal instruments with the SSF Guidelines; identify gaps and strengths in these instruments; and further propose recommendations for improving the existing national policy and legal framework according with the SSF Guidelines.
