Description
- Abstract
- Objectives: Enhance research activities and training to increase and use knowledge on fisheries ecology and ecosystems, and to create a regional network of expertise. Particular attention is given to the technical coordination of the research activities between the countries, which should contribute to the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries. Consideration is also given to the development of an appropriate tool for the management and processing of data related to fisheries and their ecosystems, under the form of a Regional Database and Information System. Expected results: - Promotes scientific cooperation at a regional level between the participating countries (Italy, Libya, Malta and Tunisia) for the standardization of the methodologies used in fisheries research - Study the interactions between fisheries resources and biotic and abiotic environment - Provide elements required for the implementation of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries in order to improve current fisheries management in the Central Mediterranean.
