Descripción
The Straits of Sicily is one of the most important fishing areas of the Mediterranean Sea, where significant fleets operate with high fish production. However, the available knowledge on fishery resources and their ecosystems in the region is often scarce. This project was part of a longer-lasting programme (MedSudMedProject, “Assessment and Monitoring of the Fishery Resources and the Ecosystems in the Straits of Sicily”), which was created to strengthen national and regional research capacities and to promote scientific cooperation in the southern part of the central Mediterranean for the assessment and monitoring of fishery resources. The project aimed to consolidate and further develop the results achieved so far, and to launch additional cooperative work. MedSudMedbecame operational in 2001, based on requests by countries in the theStraits of Sicily and funding from Italy. Since 2007 the project is also cofundedby the European Union (EU) Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG-MARE). The present report highlights the achievements obtained during the 5thyear of financial contributions by DG-Mare to the MedSudMedproject.
