The Operational Units approach for fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea.
This document gives an overview of the discussions on the concept of Operational Units which was first conceived in 2000 and its development to date. The approach of categorizing fishing fleets into homogenous groups, or Operational Units, to implement effort control fisheries management, as requested by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, has been evaluated by a good number of workshops, meetings and pilot studies, the conclusions of which are summarized in this document. P rogress related to the agreement reached on the multidisciplinary criteria to define Operational Units is reported together with outstanding uncertainties on the definition and use of the approach in certain cases. The data requirements and structure of four data compilation tables are also described in detail.
