Experiences with Fisheries Co-Management in Europe

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fish and Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 26))

Abstract

Fisheries management in Europe is confronted by a situation of exceptional complexity such as is found nowhere else in the world. Not only is the coastline highly fragmented and deeply indented, with much of the marine space separated off into distinctive semi-enclosed areas like the Baltic, North, Mediterranean and Black seas, but responsibility for fisheries management is also divided among a large and growing number of coastal states.
