Recipient / Target Areas | Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia |
Budget | USD 554 051 |
Project Code | GCP/INT/362/EC |
Objective / Goal | The project contributed to enhancing regionally balanced cooperation and coordination, by supporting the participation of the target countries in regional scientific working groups, particularly those related with shared stocks, and in working groups and statutory activities of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). Scientific knowledge on fishery resources and ecosystems was enhanced, and national expertise was strengthened through the provision of training opportunities on data collection and analysis and stock assessment methods; the development and dissemination of technical documents; and the contribution of national data, knowledge and ideas of national experts in the international sphere of the GFCM. A fisheries vulnerability assessment study was completed for the subregion , indicating priority risk factors and potential adaptation measures to climate change. Another important project achievement involved facilitating the engagement of fishers and other stakeholders in the management of small scale fisheries, through the adoption of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). |
Partners | Fisheries administrations and research institutes from the participating countries (Algeria, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Spain and Tunisia); General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) members. |
Beneficiaries | Fishery stakeholders (including fishers, fisheries industries, research institutes , Non governmental Organizations [NGOs] and national fisheries authorities) in the countries bordering the Mediterranean basin, but more specifically in the Central and Western part, including Algeria, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Spain and Tunisia). |

Impact | The project interventions contributed to enhancing the sustainable management of marine fisheries in the central and western Mediterranean subregions . It is expected that this will contribute to enabling marine fisheries to provide support to national economies, and to protect the livelihoods of those involved in the fisheries sector. |
