PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

The qualification is intended for learners who wish to operate as or are presently operating as fisheries officers. The skills and competencies enabled by the qualification will support career path development towards positions of senior fisheries officers, once relevant experience has been obtained in the operational environment. The successful completion of this qualification equips the qualifying learner with the skills needed to perform in the field of fisheries conservation as well as the ability to conduct more advanced law enforcement tasks on a national and regional basis.

In particular, learners qualifying against this qualification will be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of marine ecology.
  • Perform duties in pursuit of marine conservation objectives.
  • Enforce legislation pertaining to marine conservation.
  • Demonstrate seamanship appropriate to the functions of a fisheries officer.

    The qualification provides learners with the training required to be able to function effectively and efficiently as fisheries officers. It equips learners with knowledge of relevant aspects of marine biology, a thorough knowledge of what constitutes legal compliance (law enforcement) as part of the criminal justice system, communication skills and an understanding of ethics necessary to carry out the functions of a fisheries officer under supervision of more senior staff.

    Rationale:

    The commercial fishing industry contributes significantly to the country's foreign exchange earnings. However, it exploits a limited resource, and effective monitoring, control and surveillance are crucial to ensure the long-term sustainability of the industry.

    The commercial fishing industry is regulated by a substantial body of Acts and Regulations, as well as international treaties and conventions aimed at protecting and regulating marine fisheries. Sustainable utilisation of marine resources depends on scientific knowledge of the resource as well as on good management of the use of the resource. The executive arm of fisheries management provide the monitoring, control and surveillance function. Fisheries officers who have the responsibility of ensuring that management measures, such as the control of catches and that fisheries legislation, are complied with carry out this function.

    The task of the fisheries officer is a complex one. To understand this statement it is necessary to take into account the wide array of duties to be performed and the intimate knowledge of the industry required to perform these duties. The fisheries officer has to act both as an agent of marine conservation law enforcement, and an educator of communities affected by marine conservation legislation.

    In the event of violations of marine conservation legislation and regulations, the fisheries officer has to be competent at gathering evidence, presenting it in court and acting as a credible witness. Fisheries officers have extensive powers of search and arrest, comparable to and in some situations exceeding those of other law enforcement officials. The fisheries officer's knowledge base has to include the complete framework of legislation designed to protect marine resources.

    The acquisition of recognized skills and abilities is required by the sector to meet legislative and operational requirements. This will increase growth and job opportunities whilst maintaining the objective of the protection and sustainable utilization of our natural resources.

    The qualification will able learners to apply for positions as officers employed by Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) as well as other bodies such as Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, which are responsible for Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) in South Africa.

    Given the close working relationship required for coastline protection between South Africa and its neighbouring countries such as Namibia and Mozambique, this qualification could also be utilised for the training and development of fisheries officers or their counterparts in these countries.

    Fisheries officers are in direct contact with the fishing industry and have to fulfil a number of functions, including educating stakeholders about the need for fisheries management as well as encouraging and enforcing compliance.

    4.2 Knowledge of fishing gear and fishing methods is demonstrated so as to enable the enforcement of legislative compliance.
    4.3 Skills of navigation and chart work are used to plot the position and progress of a vessel within the context of fisheries compliance activities.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and must ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever. For this purpose, an integrated assessment approach is incorporated into the Qualification. Learning, teaching and assessment are inextricably aligned. Whenever possible, the assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated through the practical application of sales and services in a Nature Conservation environment.

    Assessment of the communication, language, literacy and numeracy should be conducted in conjunction with other aspects and should use authentic Nature Conservation contexts wherever possible. A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role-plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.

    The term `Integrated Assessment` implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies. Assessors and moderators should make use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.

    Assessment should ensure that all Specific Outcomes, Embedded Knowledge and Critical Cross-Field Outcomes are evaluated. The assessment of the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes should be integrated with the assessment of Specific Outcomes and Embedded Knowledge. It is required that learners are able to arrange for assessment in an appropriate natural environment. 

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The main focus for International comparability for the qualification was concluded against qualifications outside of the Southern African/African continent. In particular, North America and Australia were selected for best practices due to the high regard for the developments in these countries relating to Fisheries Resource Management by the South African Fisheries Compliance industry.

    In addition, the Southern African Regional Fisheries Resources Management, Control and Surveillance qualification was used for comparability so as to ensure that a National Qualification meets standards and requirements identified as best practice for Southern Africa. In addition, it should be mentioned that relevant SADC input and comparison was concluded during the scoping and development of the qualification through the inclusion of representatives in task teams involved in the European Union/SADC Fisheries Management, Control and Surveillance programmes.

    The following qualifications are thus presented in support of International Comparability:
  • The Boarding Officer Course (Marine Coast Guard) North America.
  • The NQF Level 4 in Fisheries Compliance Administration - Australian Qualifications Framework.
  • The Fisheries Management, Control and Surveillance programme - European Union/SADC.

    The Boarding Officer Course (Marine Coast Guard) North America:

    The programme consists of a five-day course for a boarding officer. Although level descriptors and credit values could not be allocated to the programme, a substantial similarity is clearly discernible when comparing the main focus areas with those of the envisaged qualification.

    The programme includes the following focus areas:
  • Application of Laws and Regulations.
  • Identify Fishing Vessels and Gear.
  • Enforce Closed Areas and Closed Seasons.
  • Execute Marine Protected Species Boarding.
  • Conduct Uninspected Passenger Vessel and Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Inspections.
  • Inspect Permits.
  • Identify Regulated Species.
  • Inspect Turtle Excluder Devices.
  • Inspect Bycatch Reduction Devices.
  • Inspect Traps.
  • Execute Enforcement Options.
  • Prepare/Process Case Packages.

    The following focus areas in the envisaged qualifications compares favourably:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of national and international fisheries legislation (Relates to: Application of Laws and Regulations).
  • Apply Legislation and regulations on marine resources and the powers of fisheries officers (Relates to: Enforce Closed Areas and Closed Seasons, Execute Marine Protected Species Boarding, Inspect Permits, Conduct Un-inspected Passenger and Commercial Fishing Vessel Inspections).
  • Report on Fish Catches (Relates to: Inspect Permits, Execute enforcement options, Identify regulated species, inspect by-catch and turtle catches).
  • Demonstrate knowledge of fishing vessels and fishing gear (Relates to: Identify Fishing vessels and Gear).
  • Comply with investigation and prosecution requirements in the Fisheries environment (Relates to Execute enforcement options and Prepare/process case packages).

    The South African qualification, being longer in duration, distinguishes itself through its specific focus on Resources Management and the inclusion of the following standards:
  • Promote Conservation Awareness.
  • Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
  • Fisheries Resource Management.
  • Navigational and chart-work skills.

    This is possibly resultant from a strong Conservation approach, the necessity to educate fisheries resource users (public and commercial) due to recent access to fisheries resources, and the necessity to enable navigational and chart-work skills associated with the marine environment in support of the execution of responsibilities where individuals were previously excluded from the industry in the capacity of resources management and compliance enforcement. Albeit not part of the core component of the qualification, the inclusion of communication skills and a strong emphasis on conservation ethics likewise contribute to the usefulness of the qualification both from an employment and conservation perspective.

    The NQF Level 4 in Fisheries Compliance Administration - Australian Qualifications Framework:

    The above qualification enabled comparison with a qualification that is outcomes and unit standard based so as to compare the envisaged unit standard based qualification with a similar qualification in the operational environment.

    The following main focus areas are identified:
  • Fisheries Acts and regulations.
  • Investigative procedures.
  • Apprehension skills.
  • Court procedures.
  • Monitoring Fish catches for legal compliance.
  • Office procedures.
  • Elements of Shipboard safety.
  • Radio telephone.
  • Safety in fishing operations.
  • Outboard Motor Operations and Maintenance for operators.
  • Fishing technology.
  • Work team communications.
  • Computer operations.

    Optional:
  • Motorbike operations.
  • 4 Wheel driving instruction.
  • Dealing with Conflict.
  • Occupational Health and Safety.

    The envisaged qualification compares well in terms of the following standards:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of national and international fisheries legislation (Relates to: Fisheries Acts and Regulations).
  • Apply Legislation and regulations on marine resources and the powers of fisheries officers (Relates to: Investigative procedures, apprehension skills, Monitoring fish catches for legal compliance, Court procedures).
  • Report on Fish Catches (Relates to: Monitoring fish catches for legal compliance).
  • Demonstrate knowledge of fishing vessels and fishing gear (Relates to: Safety in fishing operations and Fishing technology).
  • Comply with investigation and prosecution requirements in the Fisheries environment (Relates to Investigative procedures).

    As with the previous comparison the following standards included in the South African qualification is not included in the Australian qualification:
  • Promote Conservation Awareness.
  • Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
  • Fisheries Resource Management.
  • Navigational and chart-work skills.

    In addition, the South African qualification does not include computer literacy, outboard motor maintenance and specific focus on communication devices such as radiotelephones. Communication is included in the fundamental component and additional non-marine specific transportation is not included in the South African qualification. The differences mainly support the stronger conservation approach followed in the envisaged qualification and the developing of ethics and promotion of conservation awareness yet again provides for contextualisation in the South African industry.

    The Fisheries Management, Control and Surveillance programme - European Union/SADC:

    Due to the strong involvement of individuals familiar with the above qualification, this qualification possibly had the most influence on the envisaged qualification in terms of best practices alignment.

    The following focus areas and relation to standards included in the envisaged qualification are evident from the programme:
  • Unit 1: Survey Fishing activities at Sea (Relates to requirements of identification and knowledge about Fishing vessels and fishing gear for identification).
  • Unit 2: Survey Fishing activities from the Air [Relates to requirements of identification of vessels).
  • Unit 3: Communication.
  • Unit 4: Perform Shore Patrols (Relates to compliance with investigation and prosecution requirements).
  • Unit 5: Perform Coastal Patrols (Relates to compliance with investigation and prosecution requirements and integrated coastal zone management).
  • Unit 6: Perform inspections at places of trade and off loading (Relates to checking of legality of catches and meeting of permit and conservation requirements, species composition and reporting of fish catches as well as knowledge of international and national fisheries legislation).
  • Unit 7: Offload fish catches (Relates to Fish catches, apply legislation and regulations on marine resources and the powers of fisheries officers).
  • Unit 8: Observe fishing activities on commercial vessels (Relates to identification and knowledge about vessels and gear, legislative requirements of international and national fisheries legislation).
  • Unit 9: Administration / reporting (Relates to report on fish catches).
  • Unit 10: Collect research samples and data (Relates to conservation awareness, and fisheries resource management as well as compliance with investigation and prosecution requirements).
  • Unit 11: Take action regarding regulation infringements and suspected irregularities (Relates to apply legislation and regulations and the powers of fisheries officers as well as comply with investigation and prosecution requirements in the Fisheries Environment).
  • Unit 12: Clear a vessel (Relates to apply legislation and regulations and the powers of fisheries officers).
  • Unit 13: Organise Patrols and Inspections (Relates to Fisheries Resource Management).
  • Unit 14: First Aid (Presently not included due to the requirement to renew first aid certificates on an annual basis in terms of currency - It is a component to be addressed in the workplace).
  • Unit 15: Adhere to personal safety precautions (Included as an outcome in relevant unit standards).
  • Unit 16: Adhere to vessel safety requirements (Relates to navigation and chart-work).

    Comparison should indicate a clear alignment to what is presently regarded as European Union and SADC best practices in terms of the qualification.

    Conclusion:

    Comparisons, in terms of the North American, Australian and European Union/SADC programmes, effectively support alignment of the envisaged qualification to recognised best practices in the international fisheries resource management environment.

    The inclusion of specific focus areas including ethics, resource management and conservation awareness, is supported specifically by the approach followed in the European Union/SADC programme.

    First aid is however presently excluded for the Fisheries Resource Management qualification due to the approach in South Africa where first aid certification needs to be updated on an annual basis. It was thus concluded by employer organisations, users of the qualification that first aid will be addressed as a workplace requirement rather than a qualification component.

    It is concluded that comparison supports the meeting a similar approach and content in terms of training and development internationally.

    Impact of International Comparability on the Qualification:

    Consideration was taken in particular of the European Union/SADC programmes in the identification of international standards and content. The involvement of representatives very familiar with the qualification and its content ensured effective alignment of the South African qualification with industry standards presently perceived to be best practices in the SADC region. Favourable comparison with North American and Australian qualifications simply act as confirmation of the meeting of international best practice.
