In 2009, the Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry implemented some 20 Adjustment Plans of Fishing Effort in order to achieve a sustainable balance between capacity and resources. The Plans were implemented within the framework of the Fisheries Operational Programme and have been defined by fleet segment and geographical sub-area. The final objective is to reduce the fleet by about 25 000 gross registered tonnes (GRT). For trawlers, an average decommissioning rate of 12.5% in GRT is planned, for demersal fisheries 5%, and 2.1% for pelagic trawling and seine fishing. The Bluefin tuna purse seine fishery will be reduced by 75% in terms of GRT by 2011.
