The Medpath project aims to enable fisheries in the Mediterranean to achieve higher degrees of environmental sustainability. MedPath is composed of three projects - Medfish in France & Spain, BluFish in Italy, and HellasFish in Greece.
Objectives
• Facilitate and support the implementation of action plans for improvement in fisheries.
• Identify best practices, implement technical solutions and compile/disseminate project case studies/lessons learned.
• Build and ensure fishery stakeholders' capacity to support improvement processes towards more sustainability beyond the project’s end date.
• Research on financing mechanisms tailored to enable future implementation of action plans.

The Mediterranean is currently facing overfishing and overexploitation of its resources: it is therefore essential to change fishing methods to incorporate sustainability criteria. To achieve this, MedPath utilizes MSC pre-certification tools to help fishers, governments and other relevant Mediterranean stakeholders achieve sustainability in local fisheries.
