General objectives and activities related<br />
to cartilaginous fishes<br />
Collection of information on demersal<br />
resources in the Italian seas, trough a<br />
common standardized sampling<br />
methodology.<br />
Monitoring programme on the captures and<br />
sightings of the large cartilaginous fishes<br />
occurring in the Mediterranean Sea.<br />

Collection of information on demersal<br />
resources in the Mediterranean Sea, trough a<br />
common standardized sampling<br />
methodology. Important time series (1994)<br />
of data of elasmobranch species.<br />
Italian group of experts on elasmobranch<br />
fishes representing Italy in the European<br />
Elasmobranch Association (EEA).<br />
Aims to ensure the conservation and<br />
management of sharks and their long-term<br />
sustainable use, through the development<br />
and the implementation of subregional,<br />
regional and national plan of action. It is<br />
voluntary but all the States are encouraged<br />
to implement it.<br />
Aims at providing a fully illustrated field<br />
guide for the identification of the sharks and<br />
rays most relevant to the fisheries of the<br />
Mediterranean<br />
A technical framework was created by<br />
Italian shark specialists for the development<br />
of the Italian Action Plan for the<br />
conservation and management of Sharks.<br />
The Mediterranean Action Plan for the<br />
Conservation of Chondrichthyan Fishes<br />
constitutes a proposal for regional strategies,<br />
pointing out priorities and actions to be<br />
undertaken at national and regional levels.<br />
Aimed to the assessment of the<br />
Mediterranean elasmobranches species for<br />
the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.<br />
