FRAP
has one overall
goal: the development of a generic Framework for Reconciliation Action
Plans between the conservation of large vertebrates and the use of
biological resources by humans. The generic framework will be
illustrated using conflicts between the conservation of large
fish-eating vertebrates and fisheries as models.
The specific objectives are:
- to
assess the conflicts between the
conservation of fish-eating vertebrates and fisheries from an
ecological and socio-economic perspective;
- to
evaluate and develop successful
mitigation strategies and a mix of policy instruments;
- to
design participatory decision
strategies and to develop recommendations for effective stakeholder
interactions;
- to
disseminate the results to
stakeholders and the public.
FRAP
has developed a
generic Framework for biodiversity Reconciliation Action Plans
consistent across national boundaries. This framework will be
illustrated with examples from
the conflicts between the conservation of seals, otter, respectively
cormorants and fisheries. We have evaluated existing information and
studied the conflicts for regions that either differ in the ecological
basis of the conflict or in the use of socio-economic mitigation
strategies. The regional comparisons are Denmark versus Italy for
cormorants, Central Europe versus Portugal for otters, and Finland
versus Sweden for gray seals. The executive summary gives a
short overview about objectives, scientific achievements,
main deliverables, socio-economic relevance and policy
implications, conclusions and dissemination
of results.  more details
FRAP was organised in eleven workpackages (WPs) and three phases:
