Abstract
Alboran Sea fisheries plays a significant socioeconomic role at regional level in Alboran Sea fishing communities. Clupeids like sardine or anchovy, together with other fish species including red seabream, are of significant socioeconomic importance in this area. There is a general scientific consensus on the fact that marine environment conditions (climate and global warming) together with fishing have an unquestionable influence on these fisheries. These two driving forces need to be accounted for sustainability. This chapter goes through the socioeconomics of Alboran Sea fisheries as one of the main pressures over fish stocks and insight on fisheries management of the area in the context of an ecosystem-based management approach accounting for marine environment conditions (climate and global warming). The chapter finishes providing recommendations to improve fisheries management of this area.

Notes
- 1.
It is worth noting that state parties can eventually apply measures that are more restrictive in any case and opt for a comprehensive individual fishing quota program.
- 2.
Fishing above coralligenous bottoms and seagrass beds, especially Posidonia oceanica which is present from the Malaga Bay to the limit of the Alboran Sea with relevant concentrations of this seagrass in Almeria coast.
- 3.
GSA 01 includes Spanish maritime districts between Algeciras and Cartagena; however in certain period, we will refer to Spanish South Mediterranean region (Malaga and Almeria) excluding Garrucha in Spanish Eastern Mediterranean region due to data aggregation.
- 4.
Pérez de Guzmán et al. (1986: 159) noted that there were 165 jabegas and boliches targeting immature fishes, locally marketed as chanquetes, in 1985.
- 5.
IEO built non-aggregated 9 years of catches, fleet, and fishing effort for some wholesale markets and ports in period 1940–1961 (Giráldez and Abad 2000).
