Description: The SEAwise project works to deliver a fully operational tool that will allow fishers, managers, and policy makers to easily apply Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management. Assessing socio-economic impacts of fisheries management is crucial to a full implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management. This SEAwise report demonstrates evaluations of predicted effects of management measures under future climate change, using the bio-economic models already used in Deliverable 6.4 to explore a variety of management measures based on the Management Plans in force in Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Bay of Biscay and Celtic Sea. The models included enhanced stock productivity models developed in WP3, in response to varying climate change scenarios, to assess the robustness of management measures across different productivity regimes from a socio-economic perspective. The socio-economic components of the bio-economic models applied for this purpose have been improved relative to previous deliverables by incorporating enhanced sub-models developed in Deliverable 2.2. The impact on the fleets considered was assessed using key indicators established in the CFP and identified during the WP2 synthesis workshop in July 2023. Five scenarios were used to simulate the management and the fleet dynamics: Status-quo scenario: current fishing mortality was maintained following the catch advice (North Sea and Western Waters) or the effort quotas (Mediterranean Sea) in the Management Plans in place in the different regions. FMSY ( or, where Landing obligation are in force, FMSY_Landing_Obligation scenario) scenario: catch/effort advice was produced using the MSY approach of all the stocks. This scenario is driven by the most endangered stock(s) and, where in force, mimicked the full implementation of the landing obligation. PGY (pretty good yield) or FMSY range scenario : catch/effort advice was produced using the fishing mortality ranges within the MSY approach to relax choking/underutilization effects of the FMSY scenario ...
