Abstract

This Recommendation establishes a fisheries restricted area in the Jabuka/Pomo Pit in the Adriatic Sea for the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems, juveniles and biomass of demersal species and small pelagic stocks. Considering that the Jabuka/Pomo Pit is identified as an ecologically or biologically significant marine area under the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, this Recommendation lays down rules for the management and monitoring of fishing capacity and fishing effort in the fisheries restricted area in the Jabuka/Pomo Pit and control measures. Contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties shall call the attention of the relevant national and international authorities in order to protect the fisheries restricted area in the Jabuka/Pomo Pit from the impacts of any activity that may jeopardize the conservation of the characteristic features of these particular habitats.
