The annual work programme planned by
the Project is discussed, orientated and approved by the AdriaMed Coordination Committee (CC), its advisory body.
The CC assists also AdriaMed in coordinating the project
activities.
The Coordination Committee consists of
representatives of the Governments of the Republic of
Albania, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Italy,
the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Slovenia
(typically the Director/Head of the Government’s
Implementing Agency); a representative of the European
Commission (DG XIV), of the General Fisheries Commission
of the Mediterranean (GFCM) of the FAO-Regional project
in Mediterranean and of FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture
Department.
In order to have direct and constant
contact with the participating countries each country
has provided a focal point (AdriaMed National Focal
Point), a high level, experienced fishery scientist who
advises on specific project components at national level,
ensures effective flow of communication to and from the
national scientific counterparts and provides all the
necessary support in information gathering and data
collection.
Moreover towards the sharing of
scientific knowledge on fisheries at Adriatic level AdriaMed established the Working Groups. The WG
represent the first important stage in the creation of a
scientific regional network at basin level. The WG
involve experts from the Adriatic region and are also
open to experts from other region.
The aims of the Adriatic WG meetings
are the following:
-
To pool together experts present in the region and
establish a permanent network;
-
To put on the table and share all the best available
scientific knowledge;
-
To highlight recently achieved results and valid
methodologies;
-
To identify and discuss priorities for research.
