Putting the science into fisheries management
Sustainable fisheries management starts with scientific research – and an enormous amount of it is taking place across the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, supported by the GFCM. Small-scale fishers have a central role to play in the monitoring and data collection activities that inform the work of fisheries scientists, a point explicitly recognized by the Regional Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (RPOA-SSF).
Scientific research is the first of the nine topics covered in the RPOA-SSF, and it merits its place at the top of the list: by increasing knowledge and understanding of the interactions between small-scale fisheries (SSF) and marine resources, it provides the foundation for evidence-based policies that bring about meaningful change. Without a rigorous scientific approach, fisheries management would effectively be based on guesswork.
