Discussion on #MPA networks and #sustainable #fishing during @SafeNetMPA meeting. #OceanDecade #OceanOptimism @CollMonton @SwinGiu @INEE_CNRS @OceanoMonaco @EPHE_fr @psl_univ

DIFFERENT VIEWS ON A SHARED PROBLEM Professional and recreational fishers, #MPA managers, scientists and others have different views but almost all call for a co-management approach in the #Mediterranean. 6 points per #sustainable #fisheries. @SafeNetMPA @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM

“LOW IMPACT” CAN STILL BE HIGH THREAT Recreational & #SmallScaleFisheries can still pose a major threat for vulnerable species through bycatch. Call for better management! 6 points x sustainable #fisheries. @SafeNetMPA @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM

TARGETED CLOSURES PAY DIVIDENDS North-Western #Mediterranean: projections shows that closing a localized area off the Italian coast would prevent a 5-10% decrease in hake catches in 15 years 6 points per #sustainable #fisheries. @SafeNetMPA @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM

PROTECTING FUTURE POPULATIONS Protect European hake nursery and spawning areas to rebuild stocks and save #Mediterranean marine ecosystems 6 points per sustainable #fisheries and Good Environmental Status. @SafeNetMPA @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM

FOLLOW MSY TARGETS Overfished stocks of key #Mediterranean coastal species would quickly begin to increase if catches were limited to MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD levels 6 points per sustainable #fisheries and Good Environmental Status. @SafeNetMPA @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM

PROTECTION VS PRODUCTIVITY #Mediterranean: the more of an #MPA that’s fully protected the better the effects for #fish stock #biomass: achieve 10% of MPA surface 6 points per sustainable #fisheries and Good Environmental Status. @SafeNetMPA @UN_FAO_GFCM @EU_MARE

#Fishing in the #Mediterranean: 78% overfished fish stocks The #SafeNetMPA project suggests 6 first steps to overcome the 'business as usual' model and achieve sustainable fisheries and good environmental status @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM @Pierre_Ka

Report #SafeNetMPA confirms that maintaining the current levels of #fishing in the #Mediterranean over the next decades will weaken fish stocks to the detriment of marine ecosystems and economies. @EU_MARE @UN_FAO_GFCM @ocean_climate @JimmyPahun @Pierre_Ka @CathChabaud

Working hard during a @SafeNetMPA meeting to test how #MPA networks can help reach #sustainable #fisheries in the #Mediterranean. @SwinGiu @CollMonton @EU_MARE @criobe_pf @INEE_CNRS @EPHE_fr @psl_univ @OceanoMonaco #OceanDecade
