BookletThe State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2020 - At a glance 2020The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries – At a glance is based on the GFCM flagship biennial report The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries. The full-length publication is the most comprehensive overview of regional and subregional trends in fisheries currently available, and the 2020 edition contains more data and information than ever before. The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries – At a glance offers a summary of this material, giving the general reader a swift and simple overview of its main themes and findings. The report takes a deep dive into the composition of the regional fishing fleet, capture fisheries production statistics and the current state of fishery resources, including bycatch and vulnerable species. Notably, it provides the most detailed picture yet of the vital small-scale sector, both in terms of its activities at sea and in the broader socioeconomic context of coastal communities across the region. Long-term management measures are also investigated, highlighting the ways in which the GFCM is working to make key fisheries in the region sustainable for the future. The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries – At a glance examines findings on all these subjects, summarizing important data and explaining notable developments.

No results found.The 2022 edition of the flagship publication of the GFCM, The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, provides an up-to-date overview of fisheries status, trends and governance in the region. Now in its fourth instalment, the publication updates the findings from previous editions while analysing emerging issues in the fisheries sector, including the effects of management plans. For the first time, thanks to the recent consolidation of data quality indicators, trends in the fisheries sector are also analysed at the regional level. Based on data and information from GFCM contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties, The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2022 delivers the most comprehensive picture of fisheries in the region to date. Against the backdrop of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and of renewed strategic commitments, the first two chapters present the characteristics of the Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries sector, with figures on the fleet and capture fisheries production; chapters three and six showcase the human dimension behind fisheries through socioeconomic data and specific insights on small-scale fisheries, given their relative importance; chapters four and five provide an overview of the status of commercial living resources and of vulnerable species; and chapter seven outlines the measures taken and remaining challenges towards building a sustainable future for fisheries at the subregional and regional levels. The objective of The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries is to deliver useful, reliable data to a wide audience as an essential source of information on the fisheries sector in the region and a key tool to support decision-making and monitor progress towards the goals set by the GFCM. -

The session was attended by delegates from 14 Mediterranean contracting parties, seven observers, representatives of the FAO regional projects, the GFCM Secretariat and invited experts. The Committee reviewed the work carried out during the 2017–2018 intersession, including within its four subregional subsidiary bodies (Subregional Committee for the Adriatic Sea, Subregional Committee for the Central Mediterranean, Subregional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean and Subregional Committee for the Western Mediterranean) which all met during the intersession. In relation to the mid-term strategy (2017–2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries, the Committee welcomed the progress in multiple priority activities as well as cooperation with partners. Issues in relation to fishery data quality, data collection needs and methodologies, estimation and quantification of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and formulation of advice on the status of fisheries were discussed. Recalling the need to improve knowledge on small-scale fisheries in the the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the work underway to test a characterization matrix as well as the forthcoming Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea were tackled. Furthermore, the Committee formulated advice on the following aspects: i) overall status of Mediterranean stocks; ii) management of European eel; iii) management of deep-sea fisheries and identification of VMEs and iv) roadmap towards a network of essential fish habitats. In line with the subregional approach and based on the conclusions of the four subregional committees, the SAC also provided specific advice for each subregion. In particular, attention was paid to: i) blackspot seabream in the western Mediterranean; ii) demersal fisheries in the Strait of Sicily; iii) small pelagic fisheries in the Adriatic Sea; iv) demersal fisheries in the Adriatic Sea, including the monitoring of the Jabuka/Pomo Pit fisheries restricted area; and v) deep-water red shrimps in the central and eastern Mediterranean. In addition, the Committee also endorsed un updated table of priority species by subregion. Finally, the Committee agreed upon its work plan for 2018–2020 and elected its new Bureau.
