A Pathway Towards Sustainable Use And Conservation Of Cephalopod Stocks
Improving The Sustainability Of Octopus Small-Scale Fisheriesoceans Play A Vital Role In Providing Food, Livelihoods, And Alleviating Poverty For Millions Of People. However, Challenges Such As Overfishing, Climate Change, Population Growth, And Globalisation Pose Significant Threats, Particularly To Small-Scale Fisheries (Ssf). Effective Ocean Governance Is Essential For Sustainable Development, Recognising The Oceans’ Multifaceted And Interconnected Role In Environmental Health, Economic Prosperity, And Human Well-Being. With The Support Of Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (Msca) Programme, The Succephs Project Aims To Identify Factors That Promote Sustainability, Incorporating Qualitative And Quantitative Data And Using A Participatory Approach To Address Environmental, Social, And Economic Aspects Of Sustainability. Overall, Succephs Seeks To Improve Governance And Ensure Equitable, Sustainable, And Resilient Octopus Fisheries For Both Current And Future Generations.

Objective
Our oceans provide food security, nutrition, poverty alleviation, and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. However, environmental and social pressures (e.g. overfishing, climate change, population growth, globalization) threaten the oceans, the marine resources and the people depending on them. This is especially true for small-scale fisheries (SSF), which play a crucial (often neglected) role for local coastal communities. In this sense, alternative and effective ocean governance approaches are crucial for sustainable development and must adequately reflect the multi-dimensional and interconnected role of oceans in environmental health, economic prosperity, and human well-being. SUCCEPHS – ‘A Pathway Towards Sustainable Use and Conservation of Cephalopod Stocks’ aims to: i. demonstrate how existing tools to assess fisheries sustainability succeed or fail to integrate multiple dimensions of sustainability and achieve improved ocean governance; ii. identify common and context-specific factors that enable or hinder the achievement of sustainability in three octopus SSF; iii. improve the way octopus SSF sustainability is assessed and monitored. Embracing qualitative and quantitative data, and applying a participatory approach, SUCCEPHS will tackle simultaneously environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainability, while considering the particularities of fishing communities and resources, aiming to achieve improved governance to ensure equitable, sustainable and resilient octopus fisheries now and for generations to come. The project is designed to be a highly collaborative process, requiring stakeholders, partners and institutions to work tog
