    Strengthening Institutional Capacities for Sustainable Fisheries Management in the Western-Central Mediterranean - GCP/INT/028/SPA 2023
    Also available in:

    Phase II of the CopeMedproject was designed to build upon the results achieved during Phase I, which took place between 1996 and 2005. The main objective of the project, which was co-funded by the Government of Spain and the European Union, was to strengthen regional cooperation in support of the sustainable management of fisheries, in a region where marine fishing resources are shared among countries with different socio-economic, cultural and development levels. The strengthening of research and institutional capacities in participating countries contributed to the provision of better scientific advice. In cooperation with other FAO regional projects, and in collaboration with the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), the ultimate aim was to contribute to the sustainability of marine fisheries and of the ecosystem in the Western and Central Mediterranean Sea, taking into consideration environmental, biological, economic, social and institutional issues in scientific advice to fisheries management. The participating countries were Algeria, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Spain and Tunisia.

    Fostering the Sustainability of Marine Fisheries in Central and Western Mediterranean Subregions through an Ecosystem Approach - GCP/INT/362/EC (Baby 01) 2022
    Also available in:

    Fisheries management in the Mediterranean is complex for several reasons, including, among others, fishing overcapacity; different levels of information development, in particular for biological and socio economic data that were neither readily available nor standardized; insufficient and weak legal aspects and measures for monitoring, surveillance and control activities; and inadequate institutional frameworks for subregional fisheries management. Against this background, Phase II of the CopeMed project (the first phase was implemented from 1996 to 2005) sought to strengthen science based fisheries management through enhanced technical scientific capacities, and the promotion of scientific cooperation among participating countries in the central and western Mediterranean subregions . The participation of all stakeholders in the fisheries management process was not yet sufficient. Therefore, the current project, representing the tenth year of the second phase, aimed to strengthen regional cooperation, in support to the sustainable management of fisheries, in particular in three target countries, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia; as well as to consolidate and build on the achievements obtained so far.

    The EastMed project’s overall aim is to support the sustainable management of marine fisheries in the Eastern Mediterranean subregion to boost economies and protect livelihoods. The achievement of this goal is supported through technical assistance and capacity development initiatives targeted at national fisheries departments, as means of increasing their scientific and technical skills on fisheries management, and through the development of coordinated, participatory fisheries management plans.
