The ELIFE project aims to improve the conservation of elasmobranch species (sharks and rays) by promoting best conservation practices in European professional fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea by carrying out pilot and demonstration actions in Italian and Greek ports. Specific objectives of the project are:
– reduction in bycatch of many threatened elasmobranchs, critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable species, during professional fishing activities;
– reduction in mortality of threatened elasmobranchs during professional fishing activities;
– elimination of catches for the endangered shark Carcharhinus plumbeus caused by trawling in Lampione Island waters;
– reduction of incidental catch and collisions and anthropogenic disturbance on the endangered basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus, in the North Sardinian Sea;
– implementation of appropriate conservation measures with ecosystem approach to fisheries through the preparation and adoption of specific local management plans;
– support management authorities for shark conservation and management policies in IT and CY by providing more recent and in-depth data for environmental status assessment and implementing activities consistent with a management plan for this species.
