This last project is led by the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA) and is aimed at providing a logical basis for the implementation of the 1995 SPA Protocol. The document presented here is one of the five outputs produced as a result of the Memorandum of Understanding concluded between RAC/SPA and the Fisheries Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with the general objective to produce technical documents and guidelines aimed at facilitating the national process for the elaboration of strategic action plans to face the im pact of fishing activities on biological diversity.

Report of the Experts Meeting for the Re-establishment of the GFCM Committee on Aquaculture Network on Environmental and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean 2006

The Experts Meeting for the Re-establishment of the Network on Environment and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean (EAM) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ) was held in Rome, from 7 to 9 December 2005. The meeting was attended by 13 experts from the region. The Network on Environment and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean (EAM), created in 1992 following the Mediterranean Regional Aquaculture Project (MEDRAP), ceased to operate as an effecti ve network in 1996. The present experts meeting took place following a decision by the GFCM at its twenty-ninth session. The meeting was called to update the terms of reference of EAM and identify short- and medium-term activities. The experts suggested that EAM be re-established as a subsidiary body of GFCM-CAQ. It was envisaged that the restructured EAM would work through the following four working groups dealing with: (i) harmonization of environmental regulation and standards for aquaculture ; (ii) scaling aquaculture-environmental interactions; (iii) integrating aquaculture within a coastal zone management framework; and (iv) public perception of aquaculture in relation to environment.
