The document on the integrated analysis of IMAP indicator interlinkages and the role of commercial fisheries in achieving good environmental status in the Mediterranean is now available.
This study aims to identify and analyse relationships among key indicators under the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP), notably those related to pollution, eutrophication, marine litter, biodiversity, non-indigenous species, coastal ecosystems, and fisheries.
The work is conducted in collaboration with SPA/RAC and the GFCM Secretariat as part of the implementation of the GEF-funded FishEBM Med project, and supports the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach (EcAp) under the Barcelona Convention.
The methodology combines a desk-based literature review—including IMAP reports, Med QSRs, and GFCM data—with expert consultations.
The findings will inform recommendations for more integrated and effective monitoring of ecological interactions, ultimately supporting the achievement of Good Environmental Status (GES) in the Mediterranean.
