Yesterday's #MedFish4Ever conference in Cyprus outlined 5 priorities for the 2027 ministerial declaration under @fao.org GFCM: stronger governance, science-led recovery, a fair transition, climate resilience & regional cooperation.

The process is moving in the right direction.🌊

Commissioner Costas Kadis has all the cards in his hand to support a shift in the deep-sea trawl ban to below 800 m at the GFCM annual meeting in 2026. Now it's a matter of political willingness, say Alexandra Cousteau & Xenia Loizidou in this op-ed: en.politis.com.cy/social-lens/...

How Commissioner Kadis Can Turn a Fishing Depth Limit into a Mediterranean Success Story

The momentum from #UNOC3 must translate into action.

We urge #Mediterranean countries at @fao.org GFCM to back the extension of the #DeepSea bottom trawl ban to at least 800m.

It’s time to stop destructive fishing and protect fragile habitats.🪸 #DefendTheDeep #MedFish4ever

We have to acknowledge the fishers and the sacrifices rhey have made.
MedFish4Ever and Sofia has set the trend in the Med and the Black Sea - but new opportunities need to be explored. We have the triple crises - pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change.

The MedFish4Ever and Sofia Declaration in 2017 and 2018 showed the commitmennt of countries in the Med and Black seas! In the past decade 11 multi annual plan adopted. Fishing pressure has reduced 30% and aquaculture has doubled - integrated into coastal areas in well planned areas

More than 50% of fish stocks in the Mediterranean are overfished. The EU and Mediterranean have committed to keep working to reduce overfishing, bycatch, illegal fishing, social inequity and other issues.
EU, Mediterranean Countries Recommit to Efforts on Sustainable Fishing in the Mediterranean
EU and Mediterranean countries will adopt a new MedFish4Ever Declaration in 2027 to continue shared efforts to build sustainable fishing in the Mediterranean to rebuild fish stocks. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, 52% of assessed stocks in the Mediterranean remain overfished, but that's an improvement over a decade ago when 87% were overfished. Still, illegal fishing and fleet overcapacity continue to undermine the sector, along with discards and incidental catches of vulnerable species, particularly in identified hot spots across the region.
