    This publication presents the outcomes and conclusions of the Forum on Fisheries Science in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (Fish Forum 2024), including abstracts of keynote addresses, contributions and posters. Organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, this event gathered scientists, fishers, stakeholders, researchers, engineers, academics, practitioners, managers and decision-makers from around the world to share knowledge on the latest developments and trends in fisheries science and discuss existing and emerging challenges as well as research priorities. The outcomes and abstracts are organized according to the three themes of Fish Forum 2024: better science for better advice; healthy seas and sustainable fisheries; and economic and technological innovation for resilient fisheries. The aim of this compilation is to provide insights to support decision-making processes and better advice in the region that will help shape the future of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries.

    Celebrating 20 years and more of regional cooperation in support of fisheries management in the Adriatic Sea and the south-central Mediterranean 2021

    No results found.

    AdriaMed and MedSudMed are FAO-implemented projects that are strengthening scientific cooperation towards sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in the central Mediterranean Sea. Over 20 years of activity, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have engendered a sense of identity, ownership and pride among project participants. The projects have played a catalyzing role, developing the interest of the participating countries in regional cooperation and securing their commitment to it. By focusing on shared resources, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have drawn the attention of the Mediterranean countries to the importance of cooperative studies, multilateral and multi-stakeholder discussions and, ultimately, the joint management of fisheries and harmonized development of aquaculture. Over more than 20 years, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have established a solid cooperative framework and a unified approach to fisheries management. Participating countries are encouraged to agree on the way forward in research and sustainable use of fisheries resources, thereby implementing the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. By encouraging regional cooperation, strengthening national capacity and implementing pioneer actions, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have adopted a novel approach to advancing and contributing to the work and growth of the FAO General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). The projects are inspiring other regions of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea to achieve similar levels of cooperation, trust and results. The widely admired attitude of cooperation that characterizes the AdriaMed and MedSudMed projects provides a solid foundation for continued work towards applying the FAO CCRF in view of a "blue transformation" and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The brochure highlights some of the Projects achievements to contribute to disseminate lessons learnt and inspire further projects development.

    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This document gives an overview of the discussions on the concept of Operational Units which was first conceived in 2000 and its development to date. The approach of categorizing fishing fleets into homogenous groups, or Operational Units, to implement effort control fisheries management, as requested by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, has been evaluated by a good number of workshops, meetings and pilot studies, the conclusions of which are summarized in this document. P rogress related to the agreement reached on the multidisciplinary criteria to define Operational Units is reported together with outstanding uncertainties on the definition and use of the approach in certain cases. The data requirements and structure of four data compilation tables are also described in detail.
