| ABSTRACT |
| The Experts Meeting for the Re-establishment of the [General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean] GFCM Committee on Aquaculture [CAQ] Network on Environment and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean [EAM] was held in Rome, from 7 to 9 December 2005. The meeting was attended by 13 experts from the region. The EAM Network created in 1992 following the Mediterranean Regional Aquaculture Project (MEDRAP), ceased to operate as an effective 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 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. |
