    Feasibility assessment for a database on socio-economic indicators for Mediterranean fisheries. 2001
    Also available in:
    This pilot study on the construction of socio-economic indicators was initiated by the Sub-Committee on Social Science, Scientific Advisory Committee, of the GFCM. It was carried out in collaboration with FAO/FIPP and COPEMED. The study focussed on a particular GFCM management unit, the Alboran Sea, in the hope that results would be applicable to other GFCM management units and the Mediterranean as a whole. Although the research team encountered difficulties in terms of non-availability of cert ain data and delays in the development of sampling schedules, the study was useful in demonstrating the possibilities of developing indicators and of their application for building an understandting of main socio-economic trends within a Mediterranean fisheries management unit.

    Fostering the Sustainability of Marine Fisheries in Central and Western Mediterranean Subregions through an Ecosystem Approach - GCP/INT/362/EC (Baby 01) 2022
    Also available in:
    Fisheries management in the Mediterranean is complex for several reasons, including, among others, fishing overcapacity; different levels of information development, in particular for biological and socio economic data that were neither readily available nor standardized; insufficient and weak legal aspects and measures for monitoring, surveillance and control activities; and inadequate institutional frameworks for subregional fisheries management. Against this background, Phase II of the CopeMed project (the first phase was implemented from 1996 to 2005) sought to strengthen science based fisheries management through enhanced technical scientific capacities, and the promotion of scientific cooperation among participating countries in the central and western Mediterranean subregions . The participation of all stakeholders in the fisheries management process was not yet sufficient. Therefore, the current project, representing the tenth year of the second phase, aimed to strengthen regional cooperation, in support to the sustainable management of fisheries, in particular in three target countries, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia; as well as to consolidate and build on the achievements obtained so far.
