ProjectEnhancing Capacity for Fisheries Planning and Management in the Strait of Sicily (Year 6) - GCP/INT/320/EC 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The Strait of Sicily is a transition area connecting the western and eastern Mediterranean basins. Most of the pelagic and demersal fisheries resources in the area are shared between the fisheries of at least three bordering countries. The shared fisheries resources are exploited under different regimes in each country, while their transboundary nature justifies harmonized management approaches. Achieving the optimal use of fisheries resources in this region requires an effective cooperative management framework based on accepted concepts like the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF). However, the countries in the subregion require dedicated support to allow them to develop the capacities required to cooperate and effectively manage the fisheries in accordance with the EAF. Against this background, the project, which was part of the longer lasting MedSudMed Project, aimed to contribute to consolidating and developing the basis for establishing and implementing in each of the four participating countries (Italy, Libya, Malta and Tunisia), and/or at multilateral level, scientific cooperation for sustainable fisheries and updated management plans for relevant specific fisheries. -
ProjectAssessing and Monitoring Fisheries Resources and Ecosystems in the Straits of Sicily –Year 8 of the Medsudmed Project - GCP/INT/364/EC Baby 02 2022
Also available in:
The Strait of Sicily is home to many shared pelagic and demersal fisheries. Owing to their transboundary nature, these resources require a harmonized approach to fisheries management that is governed by the principles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and is in line with the FAO Blue Transformation Roadmap. In April 2001, the MedSudMed Project was initiated to improve the capacity for fisheries planning and management based on scientific cooperation in the south central Mediterranean through the provision of capacity development and support to four countries: Italy, Libya, Malta and Tunisia. In 2012, the MedSudMed European Community Action began. In its eighth year, the Action continued to focus on the achievement of three Outputs: ( i ) developing capacities for the implementation of EAF through scientific fisheries monitoring and research; (ii) the preparation of scientific advice for managing fisheries; and (iii) the enhancement of regional cooperation and coordination in support of fisheries management, research and capacity development. -
ProjectEnhancing Fisheries Co-Management Capacities - GCP/GLO/046/ROK 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Problematic fisheries management hinders the sustainable and efficient use of natural resources. It has become clear during the last few decades that the user groups who use finite fisheries resources need to efficiently manage them to enable them to endure. The application of various policy tools with user groups to manage fisheries has gradually become a fundamental aspect of fisheries management and has led to the development of fisheries co-management regimes worldwide. In this context, fisheries co-management has been considered one effective solution to resource overexploitation and growing social/economic problems. While there is a substantial body of literature about co-management arrangements and outcomes, this information has yet to be brought together to create a coherent guiding framework with on-the-ground implementation supporting guidance. The overall objective of the project was to develop knowledge products that would support fisheries stakeholders and policy-makers in designing and implementing effective fisheries co-management arrangements for sustainable fisheries governance.
