Developing interdisciplinary knowledge on how existing and potential management strategies perform against ecological, economic and social objectives is essential for the practical realisation of Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) in Europe.
This brief outlines SEAwise’s work, drawing together research from across the project’s multiple work themes, to evaluate the efficacy of current fisheries management strategies across Europe and the potential of alternative strategies to deliver on EU policy objectives. Working to improve our ability to predict the effectiveness of a range of management strategies, under various climate change scenarios, we have also developed guidance for the development of a flexible, evidence-based framework in support of regionally tailored EBFM.
