No results found.This booklet presents the activities and achievements of the BlackSea4Fish project in 2020–2021. Established in 2016 and implemented by the GFCM, the BlackSea4Fish project contributes to the sustainable management of Black Sea fisheries by providing scientific and technical support to the countries in the region. In 2020 and 2021, BlackSea4Fish focused on increasing scientific knowledge to support fisheries management by improving data collection and scientific advice for priority species through scientific surveys, enhanced stock assessments and capacity building. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BlackSea4Fish meetings and joint field activities had to be put on hold in 2020 and were replaced by online trainings, with select activities organized at only the national level. In 2021, activities at the national level and online work continued, while meetings resumed in virtual modality. The project organized three data preparation meetings, four technical meetings, two technical documents, five scientific surveys, two selectivity studies, one scientific database, and eight online presentation series. -
