Our progress so far
Fishermen perceive that trawling effort should increase in the 25 nautical mile fishery management zone.
We are sharing knowledge, perspectives and survey data with fishermen and jointly considering the effectiveness of the management regime.
The cooperative activities will help bridge the gap that exists between fishermen and scientists and how science can help in the management of the demersal trawl fishery in Malta. Our progress is outlined below:
