Italian Driftnets: Illegal Fishing Continues

 

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the use of driftnets in Italy, investigates the causes of the persistence of this illegal gear, analyses the possible failures in management and proposes recommendations, not only for the complete elimination of this fishing gear, but also as a contribution to the development of future management measures to be adopted within the community fisheries policy framework.
