Abstract

The European Union’s deep-sea fisheries regulations (Regulation (EU) No. 2016/2336) established obligations to manage deep-sea fisheries and to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). The European Commission is scheduled to complete a review of the regulations in 2021, providing an opportunity for new scientific information to be incorporated into the implementation of the regulations. Here, we summarise research outputs from the EU-funded Horizon 2020 ATLAS Project and explain their relevance to the regulation of deep-sea fisheries in EU waters. ATLAS research has increased our understanding of the distribution of VMEs and their importance in terms of ecosystem functioning. ATLAS research has also highlighted the utility of molecular techniques to understand fish population structure and the potential for habitat suitability models to help incorporate climate change into decision-making. Building on these scientific advances, we provide recommendations to help increase the effectiveness of management measures to conserve deep-sea fish stocks and protect VMEs.

新的科学信息有助于欧盟深海渔业法规的评估

欧盟的深海渔业条例(欧盟第2016/2336号条例)规定了管理深海渔业和保护脆弱海洋生态系统(VMEs)的义务。欧盟委员会计划在2021年完成对法规的审查，为将新的科学信息纳入法规的实施提供机会。在这里，我们总结了欧盟资助的地平线2020 ATLAS项目的研究成果，并解释了它们与欧盟水域深海渔业监管的相关性。ATLAS研究增加了我们对vme分布及其在生态系统功能方面的重要性的理解。ATLAS研究还强调了分子技术在了解鱼类种群结构方面的效用，以及栖息地适宜性模型在帮助将气候变化纳入决策方面的潜力。在这些科学进展的基础上，我们提出建议，以帮助提高管理措施的有效性，以养护深海鱼类资源和保护海洋生态系统。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law addresses all aspects of marine and coastal law. In addition to normal in-depth scholarly articles, the Journal contains a distinctive feature: a vigorous ‘Current Legal Developments’ section which provides notes and commentary on international treaties and case law, national statute law, national court decisions, and other aspects of state practice; includes the relevant original documentation where appropriate; and monitors developments in relevant international organizations at a global and regional level. The format also includes a book review section.
