• Agenda

The main objectives of the meeting were to address the requests of Recommendation GFCM/42/2018/1 on a multiannual management plan for European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the Mediterranean and provide the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries (SAC) with elements for the management of European eel in the Mediterranean Sea based on the results of the recently concluded research programme on European eel in the Mediterranean. The experts thus reviewed relevant outcomes of the research programme as well as other perspectives and discussed and agreed on a toolbox of potential management measures that could be proposed to the SAC towards a possible revision of the current transitional measures in place and a future long-term management plan. The WGMEASURES-EEL also agreed on a work plan for 2022–2023.
