No results found.This booklet presents the activities and achievements of the BlackSea4Fish project in 2020–2021. Established in 2016 and implemented by the GFCM, the BlackSea4Fish project contributes to the sustainable management of Black Sea fisheries by providing scientific and technical support to the countries in the region. In 2020 and 2021, BlackSea4Fish focused on increasing scientific knowledge to support fisheries management by improving data collection and scientific advice for priority species through scientific surveys, enhanced stock assessments and capacity building. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BlackSea4Fish meetings and joint field activities had to be put on hold in 2020 and were replaced by online trainings, with select activities organized at only the national level. In 2021, activities at the national level and online work continued, while meetings resumed in virtual modality. The project organized three data preparation meetings, four technical meetings, two technical documents, five scientific surveys, two selectivity studies, one scientific database, and eight online presentation series. -
Book (series)Report of the twenty-fourth session of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries, FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy, 20–23 June 2023

No results found.This report presents the outcomes of the twenty-fourth session of the GFCM Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries. The Committee reviewed the work carried out during the 2022–2023 intersession, including in the context of the MedSea4Fish programme, and provided advice on the status of priority stocks and ecosystems and on potential management measures addressing key fisheries and vulnerable species in the Mediterranean. At the regional level, the Committee provided advice on: i) European eel, red coral and common dolphinfish fisheries in the Mediterranean; ii) minimum conservation reference size for GFCM priority species, including deep-water red shrimp and European hake at the regional level as well as small pelagics in the Adriatic sea and round sardinella in the eastern Mediterranean; and iii) the socioeconomic impacts of a potential extension of bottom trawling limits. With regard to small-scale fisheries, the Committee supported the need to revise the monitoring framework of the Regional Plan of Action for small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It discussed additional work in support of the GFCM, endorsing dedicated research programmes, including on recreational fisheries and on jellyfish in the Alboran Sea, as well as a draft regional plan of action to monitor and mitigate interactions between fisheries and vulnerable species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and identified further actions towards the implementation of standardized monitoring plans for fisheries restricted areas (FRAs) and the development of pilot studies to identify boundaries of known vulnerable marine ecosystems. It also discussed issues related to decarbonization and climate change, estimation of discards and fishing capacity. In line with the subregional approach, the Committee formulated advice on i) blackspot seabream in the western Mediterranean; ii) small pelagics in the Alboran Sea; iii) a FRA in the Cabliers Coral Mound Province; iv) Norway lobster, red mullet and striped red mullet in the central Mediterranean; v) round sardinella, small-scale fisheries and non-indigenous species in the eastern Mediterranean; and vi) small pelagics and key demersal stocks in the Adriatic Sea. Finally, the Committee agreed upon its workplan for 2023–2025. -
Book (stand-alone)BlackSea4Fish Activities and achievements 2018-2019 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This leaflet presents a brief overview of the BlackSea4Fish project as well as its objectives, outputs and main achievements between 2018 and 2019. The BlackSea4Fish project was established in 2016 in order to contribute to the sustainable management of Black Sea fisheries by providing scientific and technical support to the work of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) in the region and coordinating priority activities of the GFCM Subregional Group on Stock Assessment in the Black Sea (SGSABS) and the Working Group on the Black Sea (WGBS). Between 2018 and 2019, the BlackSea4Fish project focused on increasing scientific knowledge to support fisheries management, by improving data collection and scientific advice for priority species through scientific surveys and enhanced stock assessment, as well as through capacity-building. It also launched activities in specific Black Sea countries in response to the needs identified over the years by the SGSABS and in line with the recommendations and workplan of the WGBS.
