The implementation of AdriaMed has always been based on the identification of the priority topics of the Adriatic region’s fishing and scientific sectors. This has been achieved through fostering and facilitating a participative and cooperative approach involving national experts from the Adriatic countries in Working Groups and ad hoc meetings.
Based on the priorities identified, Project’s activities have been implemented in collaboration with the Adriatic research institutions and fisheries administrations. Cooperative research programmes, training courses, technical assistance, multidisciplinary and multilevel meetings have been organised by the Project to cope with emerging priorities in support of developing a regional approach and a common view on fisheries management and shared resources use. The activities results have been disseminated through scientific and technical publications and ad hoc communication strategy at national and international fora.
The AdriaMed activities aim at encompassing some of the principal aspects of the Adriatic marine capture fisheries, particularly of those which are based on shared stocks. Issues related to fish and fishery biology, fishing fleets, fishery socio-economics and resource users are covered.
