Abstract
  • For three years, a multidisciplinary group of researchers in social sciences, has analysed the Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects of fisheries management in Europe. In the framework of this ELSA Pêche programme funded under the ELSA line of the FAIR research programme of the European Commission (DG XII, Research), a postal survey has been organised to gather the diversity of opinions among fishermen across Europe. This survey deals with the Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects (ELSA) of fisheries management. A questionnaire has been sent to more than 8,000 boat owners in the following countries : Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, United-Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. More than 1650 answers have been received. The questionnaire has been structured in four items : a global statement on fisheries and marine ecosystems, the problems in fisheries and their causes, governance of human to nature relation and governance of human to human relation in fisheries. Fishermen were asked to give their opinion according to a scale system. The opinion expressed are then analysed according to major characteristic of localisation in Europe (country, maritime space), of the type of activity (gear), of the area of activity (coastal/offshore). Finally the results of a multidimensional analysis of the responses are confronted to the main view expressed by the fishermen representative during the interview conducted in the first phase of the programme.
