The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) leverages advanced technology for scientific research, supporting informed decisions in fisheries and aquaculture. Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and underwater drones provide real-time data and imagery, enhancing our understanding and management of the marine environment.

These tools enable safe navigation in challenging areas, preventing habitat damage. Drones also streamline aquaculture operations, conducting regular inspections of fish health, nets, and mooring systems. Explore more at fao.org/gfcm/en or follow GFCM on social media: LinkedIn and X.
