The #GFCM_ACBS 2026:
🎯noted that of the 8 priority species assessed in 2026, European sprat & whiting were sustainably exploited & turbot showed encouraging signs of recovery
🎯noted that rapa whelk stock has deteriorated, underscoring the need for timely management action
Today at #GFCM_ACBS: management of Black Sea fisheries🐟
Key topics under discussion: rapa whelk, piked dogfish and turbot fisheries, including data submissions and stock status of each species.
#SustainableFisheries
In focus at #GFCM_ACBS: turbot
🎯One of #BlackSea’s most valuable and ecologically important species
🎯Under a management plan since 2017 it is showing important improvements, but stock still not sustainable
🎯Potential additional options for management under discussion
In focus at #GFCM_ACBS: European sprat
📌1st GFCM case study developed to address climate change considerations in #fisheriesmanagement
📌work undertaken by the GFCM Network of Experts on Fisheries and Climate Change
📌investigated long-term stock dynamics & climate influences
@UN_FAO_GFCM launched a pilot project to gather data on sturgeon, supported by #FishEBM BS, laying the foundations for informed management measures
