Mediterranean Fisheries Advisory Council

The Mediterranean Fisheries Advisory Council (MFAC) is a collaborative body that brings together various stakeholders involved in fishing in the Mediterranean Sea, including fishers, governments, and environmental organizations. Its primary goal is to promote sustainable fishing practices and protect marine biodiversity in the region. The council advises the European Commission on fisheries management policies, aiming to balance economic interests with environmental conservation. By facilitating dialogue and cooperation among diverse groups, the MFAC seeks to ensure that fish stocks remain healthy and that the fishing industry can thrive without harming marine ecosystems.
