Preferential fishing access for sustainable fisheries working area

A key element of any fisheries management is the decision on how to distribute the access to fish. While usually the access criteria are based on historical trends, there are increasing attempts around the world aiming at providing a preferential access to sustainable practices.

The new CFP supports this approach and we want to ensure that it is reflected also in the Mediterranean. In order to do so, we believe that an effective approach is sharing good practices by ensuring that stakeholders have access to knowledge and information.
