  ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING OF THE FISHERY RESOURCES AND THE ECOSYSTEMS IN THE STRAITS OF SICILY  
 
 

MedSudMed "Assessment and Monitoring of the Fishery Resources and the Ecosystems in the Straits of Sicily" is a regional project with four participating countries (Italy, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Malta and Tunisia), executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF). The Project aims to support scientific communities and countries in the development of a monitoring system for the studies of fisheries resources and ecosystems. The main objectives of the Project are to increase the scientific knowledge on the ecosystems of the project area, strengthen national and regional expertise, develop scientific cooperation in order to promote the standardization of the methodologies used in fisheries research.

 >>> OCEANOGRAPHIC MAPS

Maps resulting from oceanographic modelling at sub-regional scale were generated for salinity, temperature and currents at different depths and may be of particular interest for areas where no or little information is available, as they provide an overview of the oceanographic characteristics of the area.
