BACKGROUND At the high-level meeting on the status of the Mediterranean stocks (Catania, February 2016) organized by the European Commission, MedReAct, the delicate situation of the fishing stocks for the Mediterranean basin was highlighted. Therefore the interest of the Andalusian Mediterranean sector and the Regional Government of Andalusia in establishing measures in order to contribute to improve the situation of the fishing stocks as well as to improve the coastal water quality for the Andalusian coast. For all of these reasons, this document aims to highlight this interest and identify particular corrective measures as far as fisheries management is concerned, protect high-value production areas, strengthen protected areas and monitor the water quality in production areas. Keeping in mind that GSA1 zone includes part of the coast of the Autonomous Region of Murcia and in order to increase the efficiency of the measures included in this document, the Administration aims to inform, both the Autonomous Region of Murcia and the Secretariat General for Fisheries, of the measures mentioned in order to implement them in said areas. This document has the consensus of the fishing sector represented by the Andalusian Federation of Fisheries Associations (Spanish acronym FAAPE) and the Andalusian Federation of Fishermen Associations (Spanish acronym FACOPE). 1The GSA-1. ANDALUSIA The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) considered apporpriate to subdivide the Mediterranean sea in geographical areas so as to monitor and evaluate fisheries resources in a georeferenced way. To do this, in the division of the area FAO 37, which include the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, in the already established division FAO 37.1 – Western Mediterranean, and within the same subarea 37 1. 1 -Balearic, the GFCM established a series of geographical subareas (GSA) among which the GSA-1 is one of them. It comprises the whole Andalusian Mediterranean coast (from the Gibraltar Strait to the limit of the province of Almería that borders the Autonomous Region of Murcia) and continues to the coast of Mazarron (Autonomous Region of Murcia). In the present document, the subarea which includes the Andalusian coast will be referred to as: GSA-1 AND. Map 1 Red lines divide the subareas for the fisheries statistics of FAO. Black lines divide the subareas of the GFCM 3 Map 2. Detail of the GSA-1 which includes the Andalusian Mediterranean area. 1.1 Ports and types of fishing of GSA-1 AND. There are fourteen Andalusian ports included in the GSA-1 AND: three are located in the province of Cádiz, five in Málaga, one in Granada and another five in the Almería. The types of fishing to be analyzed in the present document (Bottom trawls, Purse seine fishing and Small-scale fishing, without taking into account shellfishing) are present in the Andalusian coastal fleet, although not the three types can not be found in every port as the following table shows: PORT BOTTOM TRAWL PURSE SEINE SMALL-SCALE FISHING FISHING (SHELLFISHING NOT INCLUDED) TARIFA 3 38 LA LÍNEA 1 14 ALGECIRAS 5 23 ESTEPONA 7 5 19 MARBELLA 4 8 16 FUENGIROLA 8 3 6 MÁLAGA 3 13 VÉLEZ-MÁLAGA 15 15 14 MOTRIL 12 2 14 ADRA 9 12 ROQUETAS 2 3 ALMERÍA 30 13 27 CARBONERAS 4 4 12 GARRUCHA 8 1 6 4 2.

SPECIES WITH LANDING OBLIGATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) introduces an obligation of landing unwanted catches for limited catch species and besides, for the Mediterranean case, for those species subjected to catch limits, as said by Annex III of COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (table 1). Table 1. Mediterranean species with minimum sizes and landing obligation at Mediterranean ports. 4. ANALYSIS OF CATCHES LANDED IN ANDALUSIAN PORTS The present analysis is developed taking into account prices of first sale at fishing markets between 2005 and 2015 for different types of fishing. By doing this, data from catches reaching 80% of economic value and 80% of total biomass will be analyzed, always for species with landing obligation 6 4.1 Bottom trawls First sale data for the bottom trawling fleet which fished in Mediterranean grounds between 2005 and 2015 shows that 80% of the economic value for the species with landing obligation (Norway lobster, hake, white shrimp, red mullet and horse mackerel) includes this 80% (see table 2) Table 2. Data of the economic value for the main species landed by the bottom trawling fleet in the Andalusian Mediterranean ports. Those species with landing obligation and included in the 80% of landings economic value are coloured in blue. With regard to the species comprising 80% of the biomass for catches with landing obligation, these would be the same than those of economic value together with the white sea bream (Pagellus acarne) that would also be added, as Table 3 shows. Table 3. Data of the volume for the main species landed by the trawler fleet of the Andalusian Mediterranean ports. Those species with landing obligation and included in the 80% of landings economic value are coloured in blue. 7 4.1.1 Province of Almeria Regarding the trawler fleet of the ports of Almería, the species that generate 80% of the economic value and which have landing obligation are: hake, Norway lobster, red mullet and white shrimp. Concerning the volume landed, the species would be the same plus the white sea bream and horse mackerel (table 4). Table 4. Data of the main species landed by the trawl fleet of the province of Almería. Those species with landing obligation and representing 80% of the volume of landings are coloured in blue. 4.1.2 Province of Granada With regards to the fleet of Granada ports, Norway lobster, white shrimp, hake, red mullet and horse mackerel would be those species that represent the economic value required. Concerning the species that represent at least 80% of the volume of catches in the 2005-2015 period, they would be the ones previously mentioned together with the white sea bream (Table 5). Table 5. Data of the main species landed by the trawl fleet of the province of Granada. Those species with landing obligation and representing 80% of the volume of landings are coloured in blue. 8 4.1.3 Province of Málaga The trawler fleet of Málaga concentrates the value of catches with landing obligation on the following species: hake, white shrimp, red mullet, Norway lobster, horse mackerel and white sea bream, while the species that comprise the largest volume of catches would be the same as before, not including Norway lobster.

  • Strikes and Rural Unrest During the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): a Geographic Approach
    sustainability Article Strikes and Rural Unrest during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): A Geographic Approach Javier Puche 1,* and Carmen González Martínez 2 1 Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Ciudad Escolar s/n, 44003 Teruel, Spain 2 Faculty of Letters, University of Murcia, Campus de la Merced, 30071 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-978-645-337 Received: 27 October 2018; Accepted: 17 December 2018; Published: 21 December 2018 Abstract: This article analyses the evolution and geographic distribution of the rural unrest that prevailed during the years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936), a period characterised by political instability and social conflict. The number of provincial strikes recorded in the forestry and agricultural industries and complied by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare constitute the primary source of the study. Based on this information, maps of the regional and provincial distribution of the agricultural unrest have been created for the republican period. The results reveal that, contrary to the traditional belief which confines the rural unrest of this period to the geographic areas of the latifundios (large estates), Spanish agriculture, in all its diversity, was hit by collective disputes. Although the areas of the latifundios were most affected by the agricultural reform of 1932, the data show that the extension of the unrest in the Spanish countryside was also the result of the refusal of the landowners to accept and apply the new republican collective bargaining agreement. The number of strikes increased during the period 1931–1933, fell between 1934 and 1935, and increased again during the months of the Popular Front (February to July 1936).

  • Mapping Urban Water Governance Models in the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline
    Water and Society IV 75 MAPPING URBAN WATER GOVERNANCE MODELS IN THE SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN COASTLINE RUBÉN VILLAR & ANA ARAHUETES Instituto Interuniversitario de Geografía, Universidad de Alicante, Spain ABSTRACT The heterogeneity of governance and management models of municipal water supply in the Spanish Mediterranean coastline has increased in recent decades. This diversity is explained by the increase of private companies responsible for the management of the local water service and the presence of supramunicipal public entities responsible for water catchment, treatment and distribution to the municipalities. Based on the review of the existing literature, the information available on the websites of the leading corporate groups in the water sector and contacting with councils, the companies and supramunicipal entities involved in the service of municipal water in the Mediterranean coastline have been identified. The objective of this work is to analyse the territorial presence of the main actors in the urban water management through its cartographic representation, as well as analyse its ownership and importance in terms of population supplied. This analysis shows a high presence of companies belonging to the AGBAR group that supply around half of the total population in the Spanish coastline municipalities. Likewise, there is a regional specialization of certain private companies that concentrate the urban water management for the most part of the coastline municipalities. This is the case of FACSA, which manages the water services in 87% of coastline municipalities in Castellón, or Hidraqua in Alicante, that operates in the 65%. Furthermore, the presence of large supramunicipal public entities is widespread along the coastline, especially in Catalonia and the southeast.
