Manual of fisheries sampling surveys: methodologies for estimations of socio-economic indicators in the Mediterranean Sea.
This manual on the sampling methodology for use in the construction of socio-economic indicators was initiated by the Sub-Committee on Economic and Social Sciences (SCESS) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). It was carried out jointly by Istituto Ricerche Economiche per la Pesca e l’Acquacoltura (IREPA), Salerno, Italy, and Gabinete de Economía del Mar (GEM), Universidad de Barcelona, Spain, within the framework of the ad hoc Work ing Group on Socio-Economic Indicators of SCESS. This manual is aimed at all decision-makers who may need correct data to build socio-economic indicators. At an international level, the manual can be used to facilitate and simplify reporting under international conventions and agreements on matters relating to the sustainable development of the world’s fisheries. Regional fisheries bodies and stakeholders involved in fisheries decision-making, such as the fishing industry, other user groups, c ertification bodies, local communities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may also draw upon this manual to assist in meeting societal goals for fisheries. This manual can be applied to fisheries at many different levels, from individual fisheries and coastal management units to a global level. It aims to encourage consistent usage of statistical methods in data collection. Governments may also wish to adapt the manual to the specific requirements of their national fisheries.
