Implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries for the purse seine fisheries in Lebanon

The objective of the EAF baseline report was to provide the necessary baseline information to pilot an EAF on the PSSF in Lebanon. This decision was based on the advances that the country has made in the fisheries sector in the past decade which paved the way for the introduction of the latest management approaches in fisheries. In-depth background research on the PSSF was undertaken by the Marine and Coastal Resources Program at the Institute of Environment, University of Balamand (MCR-IOE-UOB) which covered national and regional documents deemed beneficial for the project objectives. Additional documents and information were provided by the EastMed Project and, at national level, by the Directorate of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW) within the MOA. These documents included material relating to the laws regulating the PSSF, the number of fishers and vessels, the size of the catch and the species caught, etc. Through regular meetings and constant exchange of information between project partners, this report documents all the available and relevant material on the PSSF in Lebanon, including the species caught, the geographical areas covered by the case study, the socio-economic profile of the fishery and the current institutional arrangements for its management.
