Objective
The main objective of this project is to develop the temporal and spatial analysis of resources exploited by fisheries in the Mediterranean, applying concepts of Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
It focuses on two approaches for which the most important component is the spatial one; interactions between resources and environmental factors and the behaviour of fishery fleets. This project enters among works, which contribute, to a better comprehension of an exploitation system of natural resources and of its related management measures which can be applied, especially for durable exploitation objectives. The conduct of these researches is particularly relevant in Mediterranean, where the definition of the Common Fishery Policy is again in evolution.
The current situation of GIS in the maritime area leads to a field of scientific and technical question which will be studied in this project. It is proposed to apply the techniques of GIS in the state of the art and to develop original solutions for specific needs. The first action of this project concerns methods of representation, according to concepts of the GIS which imply especially to formalize the entities of the studied system, their attributes and their relationships. The objective is to test, to develop or to validate methods allowing obtaining relevant and consistent spatio-temporal representations, by integrating different sources of information. The new statistical approach of the spatio-temporal distributions and of their variability will be integrated in this phase of the project. The second action concerns the use of the GIS to build up analyses and modelling of the spatio-temporal dynamics of phenomena of the studied system, such as the influence of environmental conditions on exploited species, or effects of regulation on areas of fleets activity.
The subject of this study is focused on the aspects of marine exploited resources and fishery fleets by integrating the resources / environment and fleets / regulation relationships. It will concern demersal as well as small and large pelagic resources and will group competencies in populations dynamic, ecology, statistic, law and in GIS specialized computer. The input will be existent data coming either from research programs of the different institutes or from databases accessible to the project. It will be realized by technical and scientific thematic workshops for an application to some Mediterranean sites to different spatio-temporal scales.
