"Maximising yield of fisheries while balancing ecosystem, economic and social concerns" (MYFISH)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
"The MSY concept was included as a principle in the 2009 Green Paper on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in accordance with the global imperative to manage fish stocks according to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This implies a commitment to direct management of fish stocks towards achieving MSY by 2015. Attaining this goal is complicated by the lack of common agreement on the ...
