The Institute of Sea Fisheries provides the scientific basis and evaluates the economic conditions to guide the sustainable use of natural marine resources. This institute prepares decision support for the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) with respect to the Common Fisheries Policy of the EU (CFP) and international marine conventions (i.a. NEAFC, NAFO, CCAMLR, OSPAR, IWC, ASCOBANS) of which Germany is a member. Through its scientific monitoring programs and research activities, the institute contributes to a general increase in knowledge about marine systems for the benefit of the international community.Based on its research, the institute enunciates advice to the Federal Ministry (Departments 621 and 622) and the European Commission (STECF, other EU advisory boards). The institute's scientific outcome also forms an important part of the German contribution to the annual advice for fisheries and marine ecosystems provided in collaboration with other European fisheries research institutions (ERA-NET) under the auspices of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). The institute takes part in international research projects funded by EU and other agencies in order to evaluate and resolve specific questions regarding the management of marine living resources and to further improve the scientific basis of its advice. ...

DG Fisheries And Maritime Affairs is the Directorate-General responsible for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and for developing a future maritime policy for the EU at the European Commission. The CFP covers all fishing activities, the farming of living aquatic resources, and the processing and marketing of fisheries products, on the legal basis of Article 33 (ex 39) of the Treaty establishing the European Community. Since the first decisions adopted in 1970, the CFP has been through many changes, and its current form centres on four main areas: the conservation and management of marine resources, fisheries relations and agreements with non-member countries and international organisations, structural measures, and the common market organisation for fishery and aquaculture products. The major challenge facing the CFP today is to strike a sustainable balance between available marine resources and their exploitation. ... [Information of the supplier]

Das "Hellenic Centre for Marine Research" (HCMR) ist die zentrale Institution der staatlich finanzierten Meeresforschung Griechenlands. Es entstand im Jahr 2003 durch Vereinigung der bis dahin selbständigen Forschungsinstitute National Centre for Marine Research (NCMR) und Institute of Marine Biology of Crete (IMBC). Das Zentrum gliedert sich in fünf Institute: Institute of Oceanography, Institute of Aquaculture, Institute of Marine Biological Resources, Institute of Inland Waters, Institute of Marine Biology and Genetics. Die Institute befinden sich an den drei Standorten Heraklion (Kreta) und Anavyssos (Attika) und Ellinikon (bei Athen). Zu den Aufgabenfeldern gehören Umweltforschung, Technologie-Transfer, Aquakulturforschung, Multimediaentwicklung und IT-Projekte. Das HCMR ist Herausgeber des halbjährlich erscheinenden "Mediterranean Marine Science Journal" welches früher unter dem Namen "Thalassographica" bekannt war. Die besondere Aufgabe des "Institute of Marine Biological Resources" ist die Verknüpfung von Forschung und Technologieentwicklung in den Bereichen Biodiversität, Ökosystem-Management und Genetik mariner Organismen. Die Studien finden Anwendung z.B. im Umweltschutz, im Küstenmanagement oder in der Aquakuturtechnik. ... [Redaktion vifabio]

In Germany, the states (Länder) are responsible as a matter of principle for the selection of sites for the NATURA 2000 system of protected areas. Site selection in marine areas was initially only possible within the territorial waters bounded by the 12 nautical mile limit, but not in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ, 12-200 nautical miles), in which the sovereign powers of Germany are limited to certain activities. However, the amendment to the German Federal Nature Conservation Act (Bundesnaturschutzgesetz) in April 2002 created the statutory basis for implementing NATURA 2000 in the marine areas of the EEZ: The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety(BMU) and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) are now responsible for site selection, designation and administration of these areas. The BMU and the BfN are promoting an extensive programme of research. The following pages present that programme’s outcomes. These provided an essential decision-making basis for the identification and demarcation of sites of special ecological value in the EEZ of the North and Baltic Seas. ...
