  • Management and Overfishing Problems in the High Adriatic Sea and the Future Policy Perspectives
    Management and overfishing problems in the High Adriatic sea and the future policy perspectives. Nicola Severini1 1 Social-Economic Observatory of Fisheries, Chioggia (VE), Italia [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the 2nd AIEAA Conference 6-7 June, 2013 Parma, Italy The paper focuses on some aspects concerning the organization and management of fisheries in the Adriatic sea, in particular in the Northern and Central part, identified as Geographical Sub-Area 17 (GSA 17 – High Adriatic sea). This area includes Italy, Slovenia and Croatia and it has a high environmental importance due to the presence of the lagoon and high eco-biological ecosystems. The Northern-Central Adriatic area is one of the most productive areas of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the major fishing ground in Southern Europe. The good management of the area implies a cross-border collaboration between countries and a common regulation in order to avoid market distortion, stocks overexploitation and unevenly conservation of natural resources. The creation of a Fishing District between the two sides of Adriatic Sea could help to find a common governance of the area and could be a good solution for the implementation of the Common Fishery Policy in future. The Social-Economic Fishing and Aquaculture Observatory of Chioggia (VE) is one of the members of the Technical Group and plays an important role in this cross-border collaboration. Keywords: fishery, natural resources, governance, district, Common Fisheries Policy. 1 1. INTRODUCTION The Social-Economic Fishing and Aquaculture Observatory is located in Chioggia (Venice), in the Northern part of Italy, and born in 2004 thanks to the funds coming from the cross-border project AdriFish, a partnership defined among Slovenia, Croatia and Italy (Administrative Regions: Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia).

At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries.

Examining the 12 statistical regions of Slovenia, this ninth volume in the series has an almost identical structure to Volume 8, itself very similar to earlier publications.
