Institutional actions provide a shared approach to common topics concerning the sustainable management of fisheries and aquaculture activities; operative actions provide the definition and the testing of shared protocols and schemes for the reduction of fish-related pressures on marine environment, in accordance with Programme and Strategic Theme Concepts. Such an integrated approach is based on the best available scientific advice as well as by operative stakeholders' for the application of common direct measures to increase the environmental and economic sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture activities. ARGOS sets up a common framework for governance where all Institutions competent for fisheries and aquaculture in the Programme area act as a whole in the management and protection of shared biological resources, under the best scientific guidance. Specific objetives:
1. Establishing and encouraging a common coordinated framework and strengthening the institutional dialogue for a sustainable and shared management of Adriatic marine resources, putting together Adriatic Institutions dealing in fisheries and aquaculture and Argos' partners through the Adriatic Advisory Committee (AAC).
2. Protecting Adriatic fishing resources according to the decisional processes shared with the best available “know-how”.
