Baltic sea Demersal fisheries
Case Study Leader: Leyre Goti (Johann Heinrich von Thuenen-Institute)
Other participants: CAU, UCPH-FOI, DTU-Aqua
Relevant Regional Advisory Council (RAC): Baltic Sea RAC
Summary:
Fishing in the western Baltic Sea is mainly performed by small and medium sized vessels operated from local communities and thus dependent on local resources with limited possibilities to reallocate effort to other areas. The Baltic Sea Case Study will discuss governance issues in relation to area based management measures and increasing complex regulations to reduce negative impacts of fishing on the ecosystem.
