Synopsis (short abstract) 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.
