Multiannual management plan for turbot in the Black Sea
Turbot population in the Black Sea will be monitored as recommended by General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean. The program is to start this year and it will be continued in 2019, informs a press release from European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA).
The project will promote compliance and level playing field, in particular with regard to total allowed catches and quotas regime, technical measures, closure periods, fishing effort limits and market-related measures. All the authorities concerned will be involved in order to exchange best practices for control and inspection of GFCM conservation and management provisions on turbot fisheries in the Black Sea.
Also, the program includes possible joint control and inspection operations and capacity building, in particular, assessment of needs and implementation of trainers/inspection training.
"This pilot project is the first step in setting the foundations for cooperation on fisheries control in the region. Indeed, a GFCM Observation and control programme for the Black Sea will be very beneficial to guarantee the sustainability of the turbot fisheries in the region", explained Pascal Savouret, head of EFCA. The countries included in this program are Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Turkey, and Ukraine.
