No results found.This booklet presents the activities and achievements of the BlackSea4Fish project over the 2022–2023 biennium. Established in 2016 and implemented by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, the BlackSea4Fish project contributes to the sustainable management of Black Sea fisheries by providing scientific and technical support to the countries in the region. From the beginning of 2022, BlackSea4Fish in-person meetings and joint field activities were able to gradually resume following the COVID-19 pandemic. The project 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. A total of 45 activities were launched over 2022 and 2023, including three data preparation meetings, eleven technical meetings and seven stakeholder meetings. -

The BlackSea4Fish project was established in 2016 in order to contribute to the sustainable management of Black Sea fisheries by providing scientific and technical support to the work of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) in the region and coordinating priority activities of the GFCM Subregional Group on Stock Assessment in the Black Sea (SGSABS) and the Working Group on the Black Sea (WGBS). Between 2018 and 2019, the BlackSea4Fish project focused on increasing scientific knowledge to support fisheries management, by improving data collection and scientific advice for priority species through scientific surveys and enhanced stock assessment, as well as through capacity-building. It also launched activities in specific Black Sea countries in response to the needs identified over the years by the SGSABS and in line with the recommendations and workplan of the WGBS. -
Book (series)General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. Report of the twenty-second session of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries, online, 22–25 June 2021 2021

No results found.The Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries (SAC) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) held its twenty-second session online, from 22 to 25 June 2021. The session was attended by delegates from 19 Mediterranean contracting parties, 11 observers, as well as representatives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Fisheries Division, the GFCM Secretariat and invited experts. The Committee reviewed the work carried out during the 2019–2021 intersession, including within the framework of the mid-term strategy (2017–2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries and in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and provided advice on status of priority stocks and ecosystems and on potential management measures addressing key fisheries and vulnerable species in the Mediterranean. In line with the subregional approach, the Committee formulated advice focusing on: i) small pelagic and priority demersal fisheries in the Adriatic Sea; ii) common dolphinfish and blackspot seabream fisheries in the western Mediterranean; iii) small pelagic and bottom trawl fisheries exploiting demersal stocks, particularly European hake, in the central Mediterranean; iv) deep-water red shrimp fisheries in the eastern-central Mediterranean, including their interactions with vulnerable marine ecosystems; and v) round sardinella in the eastern Mediterranean. The Committee also agreed on the technical soundness of three FRA proposals for the Bari Canyon, the Ebro Delta margin and the Palmahim Disturbance, to be submitted to the Commission. At the regional level, the Committee provided advice on the following: i) fishing technology and bycatch, including minimal technical specifications for bottom-trawl nets and the need for targeted pilot projects to investigate possible mitigation measures; ii) data call for the database on sensitive benthic habitats and species and other effective area-based conservation measures for the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems and essential fish habitats; and iii) advances in the adaptation strategy for climate change. Furthermore, the Committee discussed additional work in support of the GFCM, namely the implementation of the Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, dedicated research programmes as well as other activities to enhance fisheries management in the region. Finally, the Committee agreed upon its work plan for 2021–2023.
