Start year 2012 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 1,613,507 Website http://gepetoproject.eu Summary GEPETO builds on a regional approach to fisheries management through a platform of governance that associates professional, scientific sectors, policy makers and NGOs. Channelled through the South Western and North Western Regional Advisory Groups, GEPETO combines stakeholders' resources and abilities to improve the bio-socio-economic sustainability of long term fisheries management plans in the Atlantic Area within the challenges of sustainability which proposes the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). GEPETO suggests a new way of working, where professionals, scientists and policy-makers cooperate in the defining of a new model of fishing, based on the development of long term management plans, and a new model of governance optimizing this cooperation. Fisheries data will be collected and reflected in an Atlas of the competence area of South Western Waters Regional Advisory Council (SWW RAC). In this area, a few management units will be defined in which pilot management plans for those selected fisheries will be proposed.
