Martin Pastoors ICES provides advice on the status of around 150 fish stocks in the Northeast Atlantic.The precautionary approach forms the basis of the advice although the Johannesburgh agreement (WSSD 2002) will cause a reorientation of management and advice towards long term management targets. In this contribution, we present an overview of stock status in the Northeast Atlantic based on the available precautionary reference points. We show how the stock status has changed over the last 10 years and develop some proposals for metrics to evaluate the quality of the stock assessments and forecasts that underpin the advice.
