25 May, Call for abstracts on Frontiers in Marine Science

"Challenges and Opportunities for the EU Common Fisheries Policy application in the Mediterranean and Black Sea" is a new Research Topic in Frontiers in Marine Science which aims at collecting a broad range of analyses on ecological, biological, social, economic and legislative issues and case studies related to the application of the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

The intent of the Research Topic is thus to collate analyses related to the application of the principles included in the CFP in Mediterranean and Black Sea, including assessments of current status, scenario analyses, visions of best solutions, evaluation of critical hot spots and effects of regionalization of fisheries management. Theoretical studies and working applied examples, as well as critical situations and success stories, are welcome. Contributions are expected from all different actions envisaged by CFP (e.g. landing obligation, regionalization, etc), and covering different dimensions (biological, technical, ecological, economic, social and institutional arrangements, including legislative and regulation topics). The Research Topic aims at tackling from local to transboundary issues and solutions and is expected to provide broad vision of problems together with important practical solutions for CFP application in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
