Abstract

This Recommendation lays down rules for establishing a multiannual management plan for sustainable trawl fishing activities in the Ionian Sea, in consistency with the precautionary approach to fisheries management. The multiannual management plan shall be designed to provide and maintain high long-term yields consistent with maximum sustainable yield and to guarantee a low risk of stock collapse while maintaining sustainable and relatively stable fisheries. Contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties whose vessels are actively fishing in the Ionian Sea agree to implement such a multiannual management plan for the fisheries concerned and in accordance with the general and specific objectives and measures set by this recommendation. Furthermore, the multiannual management plan shall also pursue the reduction of IUU fishing activities in geographical subareas 19, 20 and 21.
