This course, offered as part of the course Development and Use of Coastal Areas part of the MEMIC Master’s program, covers the fundamentals, challenges, and tools of the ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM).
The course will examine the main threats to marine ecosystems, the historical evolution of fisheries management, and the need for more integrated approaches. The course delves into the ecological, socioeconomic, and governance components of EBFM, as well as modeling tools and international case studies, including regional tuna fisheries management organizations.
Finally, the key steps for implementing ecosystem-based management plans will be discussed.
