AQUAFIMA – Integrating Aquaculture and Fisheries Management towards a sustainable regional development in the Baltic Sea Region (AQUAFIMA)

Start date: Jun 8, 2011, End date: Mar 7, 2013,

The fishery sector is an integral part of the Baltic Sea coastal regions and their economies. Not all fish stocks are fished within natural limits, and certain commercially important species (e.g. Baltic cod and Baltic white fish) are severely overfished and outside safe biological limits. Existing national and EU fisheries management policies are apparently not effective enough to maintain or eve ...

Coastal Practice Network (CoPraNet)

Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Dec 30, 2006,

Quality enhancement and sustainability are key objectives for tourism development in coastal areas. This means that a sectoral approach to coastal development, including tourism, beach management, erosion and nature conservation, is no longer sufficient. In Europe, many coastal regions are working towards an integrated, multi-sectoral planning approach (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) for sust ...
