The MSY concept was proposed as the basis for managing fish stocks by the 2009 Green Paper on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). MSY is the maximum yield that can be derived from a renewable resource over a prolonged period of time. The goal is to achieve MSY by 2015. Myfish provided definitions of MSY variants and aimed to redefine the term ‘sustainable’ to signify that Good Environmental Status (GES), as foreseen in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), is achieved and economically and socially unacceptable situations are avoided. |
