Total marine fisheries extractions by country in the Baltic Sea

26 Total marine fisheries extractions by country in the Baltic Sea: 1950-present, Rossing, Booth and Zeller
transferability among fishers and vessels (Veem et al., 2009), with limited time permitted at sea (along
with the auxiliary aids such as VMS, on-board cameras and 100% observer coverage mentioned above).
In 2012, the CFP is set to be renewed with new recommendations for fisheries management, which should
have a set of clear objectives, a strategy for increased transparency, elements of precaution, and attention
to the rights and accountability of fishers, decision-makers and society. Better, more comprehensive
accounting (and/or estimation) and greater transparency of total catches will greatly facilitate trust and
cooperation among the Baltic countries whose future stakes in the fisheries resources of the Baltic depend
on one another.
