Description
Small scale coastal fishing is composed, typically, by family-based businesses, where owners are directly involved in the fishing activity. Together with other maritime activities, small-scale fisheries play an important role in local economies.
Small-scale fisheries are especially important in the Mediterranean, where over half of the sector is concentrated and where it has been playing a dominant role in the livelihoods of coastal communities for centuries.
MSP Challenge
Small Scale Coastal Catch is a month-by-month, computer-generated data layer following this fleet's fishing catch calculated by the ecosystem simulation. This fleet doesn't fish in areas that are protected against small scale coastal fisheries.
A plan can also include a change in the fishing efforts for this fleet per EEZ. Activate the Fishing controls by ticking the appropriate checkbox under section 2b in the Plan Wizard. Subsequently, change the Fishing effort sliders under the Fishing tab of the Plan Details (maximize the Plans Monitor and select your plan)
