Date/ event: 1st EEA/EIONET workshop – Maritime, 26 Oct 2010 Author: Dr. Manuel Lago, Max Grünig and Benjamin Boteler - Ecologic Institute European fishing industry: profit, value of landings and weight of landings Key message Key message  The value of landings in the European fishing industry gradually rose between 2003 and 2007 while the weight of landings significantly decreased after peaking in Thus, the value per volume of catch has increased significantly. Profit in the industry increased between 2003 and 2006 before slightly decreasing in This indicates a potentially higher productivity of the fleet and a more sustainable management of the fisheries.

Date/ event: 1st EEA/EIONET workshop – Maritime, 26 Oct 2010 Author: Dr. Manuel Lago, Max Grünig and Benjamin Boteler - Ecologic Institute Outlook Improving indicators = better quality data (i.e. no gaps), more detailed data and new data. Improving indicators = better quality data (i.e. no gaps), more detailed data and new data. Expanding indicators to new sectors (i.e. tourism, agriculture), new aspects (i.e. marine litter, eutrophication) is possible but dependent on availability of data. Expanding indicators to new sectors (i.e. tourism, agriculture), new aspects (i.e. marine litter, eutrophication) is possible but dependent on availability of data. There is the potential to link indicators to additional information tools (i.e European Atlas of the Seas), however, usefulness must first be explored.
