SWOT Analysis – Key ThemesFisheries• Implementation of new CFP –
Landing Obligation, MSY• Matching fleet to available resources• Managing inshore fisheries• Protection of marine environment &
biodiversity
Obligation to Land / Matching Fleet• Selective Fishing Gear• Transition to discard ban• Adjust fleet to match resources• Maximising value of opportunities• Reducing costs – fuel/CO2
Inshore Fisheries / Marine Environment• 80% of fleet, 50% of employment• Absence of representative
structures• Lack of information on activities• Limited Management• Frequently operate in Natura 2000
areas• Need to ensure compliance with
Directives
SWOT Analysis – Key ThemesFisheries Areas• Enhance role of FLAGs• Develop new support
mechanisms• Improve access to skills
development• Protection of marine
environment & biodiversity
Enhance Role / Develop New Mechanisms• Widen existing role of FLAGs -
Inshore• Networking with other FLAGs • Platform to address challenges• Support communities• Coherent development of marine
tourism• Enhance local seafood activity –
micro enterprises
Skills Access / Marine Environment• Develop new skills, employment
opportunities and businesses• Develop confidence, broaden
economic base demonstrate innovation & sustainability
• Complement other supports• Natura 2000 & inshore fisheries
