| Title | Fostering the Sustainability of Marine Fisheries in Central and Western Mediterranean Subregions through an Ecosystem Approach - GCP/INT/362/EC (Baby 01) |
|---|---|
| Introduction | Fisheries management in the Mediterranean is complex for several reasons, including, among others, fishing overcapacity; different levels of information development, in particular for biological and socio-economic data that were neither readily available nor standardized; insufficient and weak legal aspects and measures for monitoring, surveillance and control activities; and inadequate institutional frameworks for subregional fisheries management. |

|---|---|
| Introduction | The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) is an intergovernmental organization established under the FAO Constitution to manage tuna and tuna-like species in the Indian Ocean. Its main aim is the conservation and optimum utilization of fish stocks for long-term sustainability. The IOTC’s management objective of enhancing the scientific component of fisheries management is currently limited due to a paucity of data for some of the major IOTC fisheries. |

| Title | Supporting the Implementation of the Regional Plan of Action to Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in the Caribbean - GCP/SLC/016/EC |
|---|---|
| Introduction | National economies, food security, the environment and labour standards are all negatively impacted by illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which is estimated to account for between 20 and 30 percent of all fishing in the Caribbean. The deleterious effects of IUU fishing are exacerbated further by a regional context that is characterized by limited management, conservation and development capacities, as well as limited technical and operational capabilities. |

| Title | Restoring Water Supply for Food Production and Livelihoods in Post-Conflict Areas in Iraq - GCP/IRQ/071/EC |
|---|---|
| Introduction | The impact of conflict on the agricultural sector in Iraq has been devastating, and includes damage to water systems, irrigation facilities, and other agricultural infrastructure, the disruption of value chains, and loss of personal assets, crop and livestock production, and food supplies. In this context, the North Al Jazeera irrigation project, which was launched in the early 1990s to serve an area of 70 000 ha, was severely damaged during the years of conflict in the country. |

| Title | Increasing the Legal and Operational Capacity to Combat IUU Fishing - GCP/INT/321/EC |
|---|---|
| Introduction | Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines national and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks and, as a consequence, inhibits progress towards achieving the goals of long-term sustainability. It deprives the poorest and most food-insecure people, who depend on fisheries as a critical source of income and livelihood, puts further pressure on the sustainability of marine ecosystems and constitutes both an impediment and a deterrent to private sector development. |

|---|---|
| Introduction | The Strait of Sicily is a transition area connecting the western and eastern Mediterranean basins. Most of the pelagic and demersal fisheries resources in the area are shared between the fisheries of at least three bordering countries. The shared fisheries resources are exploited under different regimes in each country, while their transboundary nature justifies harmonized management approaches. |
