DEEPFISHMAN Kick-off meeting Nantes 12-14 May 2009
DEEPFISHMAN general aim • Develop strategy options for the management of deepwater fisheries in the NE Atlantic • Appropriate/new • Stock assessment methods • Biological reference points (BRPs) • Harvest Control rules (HCRs) • Managements strategies • Account of • Stock vulnerability • Biodiversity/ecosystem and VMEs sustainability and conservation • Specify additional monitoring data requirements • (e.g.) lack of on-going cruises, economics data missing in some fisheries, poor knowledge of high resolution spatial distribution of fishing effort (required for management of VMEs conservation)
Current situation: assessment • Exploratory/unreliable in most CSs • Existing data no all available to assessment groups (e.g. ICES/WGDEEP) • No protocole to integrate some data (e.g. on-board observations)
Current situation: management(EU only) • Main management tool= TACs • Effort limitation (cap on total effort, licensing scheme) • Existing technical measures: e.g. spatial and seasonal closures for blue ling • Ecosystem/biodiversity assessment: not integrated with stock assessment • Some MPAs designed for VMEs conservations
What should be achived in 2012 • Reliable assessments and/or indicator based management • BRPs, HCRs • Monitoring framework • Requirements for progress towards • objectives of WSSD (e.g. MSY estimated data or requirements) • (For EU) MSFD • initial ecosystem assessment • indicators relevant to the 11 ecosystem descriptors of MSFD Integrated in a long-term management strategy framework
