European fisheries ecosystem plan

Obiettivo

The ultimate aim of this work is to develop a framework for the implementation of 'Fisheries Ecosystem Plans' in Europe. This will be achieved through the involvement of marine scientists, social scientists, economists and the stakeholders (fishers and fisheries managers). We take the North Sea as a case study but also specifically include a consideration of the additional issues/regional differences that would influence development of such plans for the northern/sub-Arctic and Atlantic margin fisheries. The US National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS, 1999) in a report to congress developed the concept of Fisheries Ecosystem Plans (FEP's).

The actions to be taken in developing an FEP are designed to incorporate the principles and policies of ecosystem conservation into fisheries management. Specifically FEP's provide a description and understanding of the basic environmental and human context in which a fishery is managed, they direct the use of that information for fisheries management and define strategies.
