| dc.description | AdriaMed and MedSudMed are FAO-implemented projects that are strengthening scientific cooperation towards sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in the central Mediterranean Sea. Over 20 years of activity, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have engendered a sense of identity, ownership and pride among project participants. The projects have played a catalyzing role, developing the interest of the participating countries in regional cooperation and securing their commitment to it. By focusing on shared resources, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have drawn the attention of the Mediterranean countries to the importance of cooperative studies, multilateral and multi-stakeholder discussions and, ultimately, the joint management of fisheries and harmonized development of aquaculture. Over more than 20 years, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have established a solid cooperative framework and a unified approach to fisheries management. Participating countries are encouraged to agree on the way forward in research and sustainable use of fisheries resources, thereby implementing the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. By encouraging regional cooperation, strengthening national capacity and implementing pioneer actions, AdriaMed and MedSudMed have adopted a novel approach to advancing and contributing to the work and growth of the FAO General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). The projects are inspiring other regions of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea to achieve similar levels of cooperation, trust and results. The widely admired attitude of cooperation that characterizes the AdriaMed and MedSudMed projects provides a solid foundation for continued work towards applying the FAO CCRF in view of a "blue transformation" and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The brochure highlights some of the Projects achievements to contribute to disseminate lessons learnt and inspire further projects development. | |
