Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea 2021The Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (RPOA-SSF) is a historic political commitment setting out a ten-year roadmap towards the long-term environmental, economic and social sustainability of the sector. Signed as a Ministerial Declaration in September 2018 by high-level representatives of Mediterranean and Black Sea countries and the European Union, it sets out the specific principles, objectives and – importantly – concrete actions that are needed over 2018–2028 to guarantee a sustainable future for small-scale fisheries in the region.This brochure summarizes the aims of the RPOA-SSF and gives an overview of the process leading to its creation. It also includes some background on the current state of the region’s small-scale fishing sector, and explains why the plan is so urgently needed.

No results found.The Regional Conference on “Building a future for sustainable small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea” was held in Algiers, Algeria, from 7 to 9 March 2016. This event was organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) and the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), including its Mediterranean regional projects, in partnership with the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies – Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (CIHEAM-MAIB), the Network of Marine Protected Areas Managers in the Mediterranean (MedPAN), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and in collaboration with the Algerian Ministry for Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries. More than 200 participants attended the conference and discussed about the main challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of the small-scale fisheries sector. Building upon the momentum created by the First Regional Symposium on Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea (Malta, 27–30 November 2013), organized by the same partners, the conference was intended as a practical response to the outcomes of this first event. The conference focused on the main socio-economic and environmental challenges for the sustainable development of small-scale fisheries with the aim to promote political commitment towards tailored strategies for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea region. Discussions were structured around five interactive panels addressing challenges and priorities for the future of this essential activity in the region. Based on the outcomes of the discussions held, conclusions were put forth to urge action in support of sustainable small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The conclusions agreed upon by all participants reflect the need for concerted efforts to support the sector, raise awareness, share knowledge and devise future strategies to promote its sustainable development. -
Book (stand-alone)Mediterranean forests: Towards a better recognition of the economic and social value of goods and services through participative governance 2016
Also available in:
This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood and Forestry, and the European Union, in 5 North African (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Middle East countries (Lebanon, Turkey). This synthesis report prov ides a quick overview of the main results of components 2 (Assessment of the socio-economic value of goods and services provided by Mediterranean forest ecosystems) and component 3 (Improving Mediterranean woodland areas governance through participatory implementation and management approaches). This document also presents the lessons learned as well as the main recommendations issued in five Mediterranean countries.
It is vital, indeed through economic assessment, to increase the visibi lity of the contribution of the goods and services produced by Mediterranean woodland areas for populations who are economically and socially dependent on these areas, but also for society as a whole. However, this can only be achieved through active involvement of these populations by managing these areas through participatory processes.
In the context of rapid global change, it is crucial to work on these two closely linked themes in order to provide the tools needed to make necessary changes in public policies, which now, more than ever, are facing many challenges.
