MAIN PROBLEMS IN EEL MANAGEMENT IN ITALY<br />

‣Lack <strong>of</strong> coordination among Central Government/EMUs – Regions/Province<br />

‣Lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> the stakeholders (both commercial and recreational fishermen)<br />

concerning the status <strong>of</strong> the eel stock, the existence <strong>of</strong> a recovery plan and related action to<br />

be taken.<br />

‣Lack <strong>of</strong> control <strong>of</strong> the “environmental police <strong>of</strong>ficers” for the respect <strong>of</strong> the eel recovery<br />

plans.<br />

‣Illegal fishing both glass eels and silver eels still very common.<br />

‣REGION MAIN ACTION IS JUST RESTOCKING WITH ELVERS (POLITICAL PRESSURE FROM<br />

RECREATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL FISHERMEN – ILLEGAL TRADING OF ELVERS AND GLASS EELS).<br />

‣NO ACTION TO REMOVE BARRIERS OR TO INCREASE SUITABLE HABITAT FOR EELS.
