Region: Andalucia (Spain)
Title: Methodology for the comprehensive management of sustainable artisanal
fisheries production; each fish counts
Priority: 2. Protect, secure and enhance the marine and coastal environment
sustainability.
Objective: 2.2. Sustainable management and protection of the resources of marine spaces.
Context
Discards are an example of the weaknesses of the CFP as they have negative effects from any point of view and for all
the stakeholders: European society, fishermen, consumers, relevant administrations, scientists and managers of
common fisheries resources.
The adaptations to be developed by the regional and local fishermen, transformers and distributors of fish by 2015
(when these practices will be completely banned) will be decisive for the recovery of fish stocks, for a general recovery,
for job creation and for the sustainability of the sector.
Justify of the proposal
Therefore, it is necessary to assess discards qualitatively and quantitatively, as well as the practices that lead to them, the
commercial network that exists - that are influential actors in the process - and the options that exist to achieve a
progressive and non-traumatic artisan Atlantic space sector (specifically in Andalusia it represents 95.4% of the fleet
which, in 2011, comprised 1595 boats).
Main and specific objectives
Main Objective: the dynamic adaptation of coastal communities dependent on fishing to the new Community Fisheries
Policy by helping fishermen in this transitional period
Specific objectives:
- to know the real value of discards in fisheries under study in order to reduce them
- to redirect the destination of involuntary catches either for production of animal feed, flour or other products, to achieve
a better adjustment of the quotas or even their exchange between boats or organisations, etc.
- the effective management and supervision of fishing activities in order to achieve the sustainability of the fish stocks and
of the sectors of fishing/processing/marketing of coastal communities by 2020.
Expected results
1. To increase the weight of direct beneficiaries in decision-making on the activities they develop and their adaptation to
the new CFP.
2. The reduction of discards. They will become beneficial products and quotas will be adjusted to the real catches.
3. Implementation of a joint work formula for stakeholders that can be employed in other areas.
4. A transnational network for the exchange of information, results, opinions of fishermen concerning the elimination of
discards without loss of opportunities, has been created.
5. The development of a more sustainable fishing will improve the image of our fishermen and help sell the products they
generate.
6. Coastal communities involved will be strengthened and fisheries legislation will become a tool for development.
Innovative aspects of the project
Fishermen are part of the solution for this problem. They will suggest measures together with scientists and they will be
those involved in the debate to determine them. The prohibition of discards is an opportunity and not a threat to the
activity and the adaptation to the new situation is not traumatic. In addition, it not is based on financial aid exclusively
but in their capacity to adapt and be involved. Therefore, they are responsible for the benefits produced through the
development of its activities in a sustainable way.
Expected partner search
Type of Partner: administrations that manage this activity in a territory as well as research centres of the
aquaculture and fisheries sector
Geographical areas: partners located in any eligible region in Atlantic Area O.P.
