Activities to implement this Resolution from Activity Reports
| Relevant operative para(s) of Res/Rec | Activities Overview | Description | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Convene stakeholders/Networking | Implementing ecosystem-based management through BSAP. CCB has continuously urged and invited fisheries managers and stakeholders to environmental fora and topics in BSAC and pushed to include fisheries related issues into MSFD/BSAP meetings and events with the same message that the “spheres” cannot be separated anymore. | On-going | Full activity report | |
| Policy influencing/advocacy | Implementing ecosystem-based management through BSAP. CCB has worked continuously to link HELCOMs BSAP/MSFD, to CFP and species protection, such as for eel and harbour porpoise and the underlying organizational challenges. Both on EU and MS level, the understanding of needs to change management is becoming more accepted and that there is a need for new scientific advice to better match ecosystem based management. Draft versions of NGO views of the MSFD article by article are available but not agreed official CCB documents | On-going | Full activity report |

Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
The lead proponent for this resolution and eventual associated funding was from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). The EDF expert that led the charge for this resolution has left EDF immediately after its adoption. IUCN CEM Fisheries Expert Group (FEG) has recontacted EDF to find out what they intended to do if anything. Unfortunately, no further information on an alternative way is available at this point in time.
A lack of time and resources (staff time) for the Secretariat FP to coordinate / initiate further actions on this resolution is a major challenge as well.
