Fisheries policy, strategic planning, legislation and management

Danish sand eel trawler: Industrial fisheries in the CFP

The Company has extensive experience in national, regional and international policy, legislation and management issues (for example quota management, allocation of rights, issues related to access to shared resources, and international jurisdictional issues). Poseidon continues to deliver workable solutions to fisheries management both at the strategic level and through the development of regional and local fisheries management plans. .

Policy papers have been produced for various organisations including the EU, national administrations and Regional Fishery Organisations, specifying policy objectives and tools. A number of regional policy reviews have also been undertaken. Special attention is paid to articulation of trade-offs that may need to be made in policy and management strategies, and to implementation arrangements and frameworks, with careful specification of budgets, timeframes and individual/institutional responsibilities.
