Abstract | The mobile demersal gears currently applied in the fishery sectors across Europe are known to have a large impact both directly and indirectly on the benthic habitats and communities. There is increasing concern about these impacts and the aim is to reduce these impacts on the wider ecosystem without compromising the ability of the fishery to provide food or maintain a socio-economically viable fishery. This is reflected in the main policy framework, i.e. the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which encourages an ecosystem based approach, in which benefits from living aquatic resources are ensured ‘while the direct and indirect impacts of fishing operations on marine ecosystems are low and not detrimental to the future functioning, diversity and integrity of those ecosystems’. To that end the CFP proposes a new general framework to manage EU fisheries aimed at achieving sustainability objectives across all three pillars of sustainability, i.e. ecological, economic and social. The CFP also stresses that to ensure good governance, appropriate involvement of stakeholders is needed to implement measures. |
