The present Action, part of the wider programme entitled “Support to the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean”, consolidated and complemented the specific objectives foreseen by other grants entered into with the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE ) of the European Union, which had been executed or were being executed throughout the Action’s implementation. The overall objective was to implement select activities approved by the GFCM in the framework of its mid term strategy (2017 2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries. This was to be achieved through the following five outputs: ( i ) strengthening of scientific advice in support of fisheries management, (ii) support to sustainable small scale fisheries to improve livelihoods for coastal communities; iii) enhancement of modular monitoring, control and surveillance at the regional level to support the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; (iv) monitoring of unwanted interactions between fisheries and marine ecosystems and the environment and (v) enhanced capacity building and cooperation among contracting parties and cooperating non contracting parties, with regard to scientific and technical issues for fisheries management. -
BookletStrategy for the sustainable development of Mediterranean and Black Sea Aquaculture 2018

Aquaculture is a flourishing industry which plays a key role in Mediterranean and Black Sea riparian countries, under a blue growth perspective. According to current trends in aquaculture production and to some national aquaculture strategies, the production of farmed seafood is expected to substantially increase in the region over the next decades. This calls for a careful planning in order to ensure the long term social, economic and environmental sustainability of the sector. In light of emerging global challenges, the international community has been involved for decades in a common endeavour in favour of sustainable development and cooperation. The 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and, more recently, the 2016 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are two milestones of this widespread mobilization. In the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the need to promote blue growth and develop sustainable aquaculture to ensure food security has been reiterated on several occasions. Acknowledging this growing trend and in line with its mandate, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean has recently adopted Resolution GFCM/41/2017/1 on a strategy for the sustainable development of Mediterranean and Black Sea aquaculture. This regional strategy has been developed as part of an extensive consultation process. It envisages a future for Mediterranean and Black Sea aquaculture where a level playing field is achieved and the promotion of the sector is ensured so that it is more competitive, sustainable, productive, profitable and equitable. It is expected that it will help Mediterranean and Black Sea riparian countries in formulating harmonized aquaculture activities and action plans, paying special attention to current priorities and specificities at the local, national, subregional and regional level. Based on three targets and associated outputs and activities, the strategy will be implemented as part of a process that is consistent with national and supranational aquaculture strategies in Mediterranean and Black Sea riparian countries.
