“…Ecosystems are now understood to represent the correct scale within which scientific knowledge and the management of renewable resources should be based on. The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) offers a long-term vision for the management of marine biodiversity: sustainable exploitation of resources while respecting the marine ecosystem (Cury et al 2016). According to the FAO (2003), the EAF is a management planning process that was adopted by the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) as the appropriate and practical way to implement the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.…”

The Aegean Sea features an important archipelago in the Eastern Mediterranean, consisting of 60 inhabited islands, more than 1400 uninhabited islands, about 60–70 commercial marine taxa, along many vulnerable species. Fisheries are mainly coastal and are exploited by Greek and Turkish fishers. The multi-species and multi-gear fisheries operate within each country’s 6-nautical mile territorial sea and in the international waters of the Aegean Sea. As the fisheries resources are currently declining in this region, it is clear that current management initiatives are ineffective and would benefit from a new regime aiming to improve the state of the commercial marine resources. This study offers a comparative analysis of certain fishing gear technical measures applied by Greece and Turkey in the Aegean Sea. Identified differences can provide clear and helpful insights for decision-makers for the development of a new and productive management approach in Aegean waters. The fishery regulations were shown to be highly variable, sharing few similarities and stressing many more differences, thus rendering the current management of the shared fish stocks unsustainable. The resources of both states would greatly benefit from the harmonization of management measures focusing on an ecosystem approach to fisheries, and incorporating fishers as stakeholders.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, observations have shown a significant degradation of aquatic environments. This degradation has got worse in the past century in all regions of the Globe. This is observed in many estuarine areas vital for the growth of high‐value species. Given the state of degradation of these coastal environments, their vulnerability to the anthropic effects and the natural hazards has become stronger whereas their resilience capacities have become significantly lower. The same goes for the many human communities living from the exploitation of living resources that can no longer ensure the sustainability of their fishing or farming activities. In addition to all these modifications the impacts, now proven, of climate change alter the temperature of water masses and biogeochemical characteristics of marine ecosystems. This integrated vision of the marine environment and of the aims of research makes it possible to address the issue of environmental governance and the problems involved in coordinating the knowledge and functions of scientific, social, economic and political actors. The three authors who are specialized in different fields of research exchange their points of view, redefine the terms, notions, concepts, and the questions related to the exercise of transdisciplinarity.
