Abstract

The Fifteenth Meeting of the Coordination Committee of the FAO AdriaMed Regional Project “Scientific Cooperation to Support Responsible Fisheries in the Adriatic Sea” was held in Trieste, Italy, 11-13 March 2014. It was attended by representatives of the Project’s participating countries (Albania, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, and Slovenia) and other interested parties. The meeting sought to present and discuss the results of the activities carried out by the Project referring to the 2013. The activities followed the methodological approach used by the Project and were presented according to the main components. Attention was drawn to the Concept Note for a single Mediterranean region fisheries Programme developed by FAO-FIRF that will build on the experience, lessons learned and result achieved so far by the FAO Mediterranean Projects (AdriaMed, CopeMed II, EastMed and MedSudMed) and will improve the current mechanism for the implementation of activities by increasing more activities related to the EAF component, reducing the administrative layer and seeking the possibility to amplify the funding sources to potential Donors across the region. The working paper “Project Future Implementation”, in which objectives, outputs and activities proposed for 2014 was introduced and agreed by the Committee including additional inputs coming out from the discussion.
