Conclusions


  • The ongoing work on blue growth provides an opportunity to boost sustainable development in the Mediterranean Sea along the lines of the MedFish4Ever Declaration;
  • The role of fisheries and aquaculture in sustaining blue growth should be better reflected including in national and international policies;
  • Cooperation is needed to achieve common goals, including at sub-regional level (e.g. Western Mediterranean) and among competent organizations and regional bodies.
