The new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) will introduce reforms to the European fishing industry. It will implement a fisheries management system that will strive to bring the economic realities of the sector back in line with society’s long-term interest in healthy seas and thriving fish stocks. There is a need to translate EU requirements, consistent with the aims of the new CFP as well as the Marine Strategy Framework (MSFD) and other EU directives, so that they are understandable by the wider stakeholder community and engage their support.

SOCIOEC performed a comprehensive analysis of the wide range of current and emerging management measures in the current CFP. It developed possible new future measures to be introduced in order to achieve a more profitable and efficient fishing sector that provides sustainable employment, support society’s aims, and contributes to societal well-being.
