Overall Objective: |
|
|
Provide the basic elements to define
measure and appraise the fishing capacity and at
underlining how the management of fishing capacity could
help in the fisheries management decision making process. |
|
Methodology: |
|
The concepts of capacity utilization
and target capacity, overcapacity and overcapitalisation
were dealt with and clarified, together with the meaning
of capacity under-utilization. |
|
Preliminary Results: |
|
In a context such as Adriatic
fisheries, appropriate fleet segmentation is essential for
capacity assessment. An important step is the
establishment of a proper comparative monitoring system in
the Adriatic Sea region, based on correct segmentation of
the fleet and also accounting for the important issue of
polyvalent vessels. To assess effective fishery management
plans it is important to know the fleet size and
structure, the potential output from the current fleet and
the target management objectives, considering both
biological and economic parameters.
In comparison with northern European
fisheries, which have seen a dramatic decline in recent
years, the Mediterranean can be considered somewhat
“safer” for a range of biological, economic, sociological
and geo-morphological reasons. The very complexity of the
Mediterranean case, however, presses for a management plan
that applies a careful, balanced mix of tools; it is
particularly important not to oversimplify the management
options for the area. Healthy fisheries in an area such as
the Mediterranean and Adriatic can result from careful
collaborative management with the sharing of national
information at all levels. Broadening the scope of the
existing Regional Projects may be the way ahead and would
certainly guarantee an appropriate exchange of information
and the achievement of mutual understanding and
cooperation. |
