Motion for a resolution
Recital J
J. whereas, in all the cases of co- management mentioned above, the change in the role of fishers – from passive subjects who comply with the rules to protagonists in fisheries management – is fundamental to the success of the initiatives adopted, as they learn to understand the importance of the rules, to defend them and monitor compliance with them, and to manage their fishing methods in an ecosystem-based approach, understanding the importance of their fisheries in the ecosystems; in this regard, the role of fishers as 'guardians of the sea' is underlined through their contribution to targeted policy making, the reduction of marine litter and the collection of plastic at sea, for example;
