This Recommendation shall establish a fisheries restricted area in the Jabuka/Pomo Pit area in the Adriatic Sea, with a view to contributing to the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems and important essential fish habitats for demersal stocks such as European hake and Norway lobster. This Recommendation lays down control measures and prohibitions in Zones A, B and C for the management and monitoring of fishing capacity and fishing effort in the Jabuka/Pomo Pit fisheries restricted area. The contracting parties or cooperating non-contracting parties shall call the attention of the relevant national and international authorities in order to protect the Jabuka/Pomo Pit FRA from the impact of any activity that may jeopardize the conservation of the characteristic features of these particular habitats.
