Emphasis is on lake and river fisheries, but estuary and lagoon fisheries have also been included when relevant data were available to the authors. Information presented in this report is to some extent an update of EIFAC Technical Paper No. 52 (1990) and Suppl. (1993), Inland fisheries of Europe, by Dill, as well as FAO Fisheries Report No. 509, Suppl. 1 (1995), Review of inland fisheries and aquaculture in the EIFAC area by subregion and subsector. However, the focus here is on professional capture fisheries, with the purpose of having a clear distinction from both recreational fisheries and aquaculture. For the preparation of this report, information on the socio-economics of commercial inland fishing in EIFAC member countries was collected and assessed mainly using available internet information sources: institutional and governmental statistical reports, scientific articles and reviews. In addition, two short questionnaires were sent to EIFAC correspondents with the aim to get a more detailed picture from member countries. Data collection (mainly from statistics on licenses and landings) targeted only professional capture fisheries and therefore excluded recreational fisheries and aquaculture where possible. However, for some countries there was difficulty in obtaining socio-economic data specifically on commercial inland fishing, in which case the available information was presented as described in the source. Each country profile is structured in a similar way. Countries with reportedly no or little available commercial inland fishery statistics, or those not providing such data within the time frame of completion of this report, have been shortly commented on utilizing the information available. The profiles range

  • Sava River Position Paper Prepared by Euronatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and Birdlife Slovenia (DOPPS)
    Sava River Position Paper Prepared by EuroNatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and BirdLife Slovenia (DOPPS) Introduction EuroNatur has been dedicated to nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources in the Sava River Basin for the last 25 years. In our role as an official observer of the Sava Commission EuroNatur has been following the processes of the Commission and the ongoing development of the Sava River Basin Management Plan with attention. Hereby we would like to comment on some questions related to further infrastructural development and regulation of the Sava River, which are urgent and alarming from our point of view. Moreover, we are offering recommendations and suggestions regarding these issues. Comments on the focus of the Sava Commission (ISRBC) The International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC) has been established for the purpose of realization of the following goals: I. Establishment of an international regime of navigation on the Sava River II. Establishment of sustainable water management III. Undertaking of measures to prevent or limit hazards Although the second goal includes the availability of “water in sufficient quantity and of appropriate quality for the preservation, protection and improvement of aquatic eco-systems (including flora and fauna and eco-systems of natural ponds and wetlands)” no working group was implemented that is adequately dealing with such issues as the monitoring and protection of the Sava River and connected aquatic ecosystems. Most publications that were elaborated by the ISRBC so far miss a clear reference to biodiversity and nature conservation topics, but deal with navigation and water management issues.

Croatian Waters Main Flood Protection Centre Head of Main Centre ∗ Climate change has intensified in recent years worldwide, including Croatia ∗ Extremely dry and wet periods have been alternating frequently in the last approximately 15 years ∗ Damage from extreme hydrological events is increasing ∗ “Average” or “normal” years are becoming increasingly rarer ∗ The frequency of high water waves and extreme water levels including floods is increasing ∗ There are almost no longer any rules concerning the occurrence of high water waves ∗ Forecasting climate models indicate increasingly frequent extreme climate events, both globally and locally ∗ Only in the last 15 years or so, the major part of the Croatian territory has experienced frequent extreme hydrological events which caused droughts in the years 2000, 2003, 2011 and 2012, but also floods in the years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 ∗ Heavy damage is recorded, primarily in agriculture, but settlements, infrastructure and industrial facilities are also at risk ∗ Still, unlike in many other countries, major fatalities and disastrous damage in the urban areas have been avoided in Croatia ∗ Floods are natural phenomena which cannot be completely prevented.
