Abstract

This Recommendation lays down transitional measures; technical and conservation measures; fleet management measures; and specific measures to address illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. This Recommendation establishes a multiannual management plan for sustainable demersal trawl fishing activities in the Ionian Sea exploiting deep-water red shrimp stocks by means of demersal trawlers. On the basis of advice of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries (SAC), the scope of this recommendation could be extended to other types of fishing gear and other stocks. The multiannual management plan shall be consistent with the precautionary approach. It shall be designed to provide high long-term yields consistent with the Maximum Sustainable Yields and to guarantee a low risk of stock collapse while maintaining the sustainability and relative stability of fisheries and dependent industries.
