“Scientists and the fisheries sector often have different views and adopt different positions towards fisheries and environmental management. The fisheries sector, scientists and policymakers are often locked in a heated debate on the value of the scientific data used as a basis for setting objectives and for outlining a strategy in order to realise these objectives. The purpose of this symposium is to discuss these issues in depth and to learn from best practices. The outcome of the symposium will be presented to EU Ministers during the November Fisheries Council.”
