The objective is to test practical governance approaches that improve stock assessment, reduce environmental impacts and strengthen the long term sustainability of coastal and marine fisheries. Proposals should reflect regional specificities and contribute to the Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters objectives, with relevance for coastal communities across Europe’s sea basins, including the Black Sea.
