Synopsis (short abstract) The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) has the objective of promoting the development, conservation, rational management and best utilization of living marine resources, as well as the sustainable development of aquaculture, in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The present Action, part of the wider programme entitled “Support to the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean”, consolidated and complemented the specific objectives foreseen by other grants entered into with the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE ) of the European Union, which had been executed or were being executed throughout the Action’s implementation. The overall objective was to implement select activities approved by the GFCM in the framework of its mid term strategy (2017 2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries. This was to be achieved through the following five outputs: ( i ) strengthening of scientific advice in support of fisheries management, (ii) support to sustainable small scale fisheries to improve livelihoods for coastal communities; iii) enhancement of modular monitoring, control and surveillance at the regional level to support the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; (iv) monitoring of unwanted interactions between fisheries and marine ecosystems and the environment and (v) enhanced capacity building and cooperation among contracting parties and cooperating non contracting parties, with regard to scientific and technical issues for fisheries management.

Fisheries management in the Mediterranean is complex for several reasons, including, among others, fishing overcapacity; different levels of information development, in particular for biological and socio economic data that were neither readily available nor standardized; insufficient and weak legal aspects and measures for monitoring, surveillance and control activities; and inadequate institutional frameworks for subregional fisheries management. Against this background, Phase II of the CopeMed project (the first phase was implemented from 1996 to 2005) sought to strengthen science based fisheries management through enhanced technical scientific capacities, and the promotion of scientific cooperation among participating countries in the central and western Mediterranean subregions . The participation of all stakeholders in the fisheries management process was not yet sufficient. Therefore, the current project, representing the tenth year of the second phase, aimed to strengthen regional cooperation, in support to the sustainable management of fisheries, in particular in three target countries, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia; as well as to consolidate and build on the achievements obtained so far.
