PASTI is a Scientific and Professional Society
Established in 1991
The present status
PASTI represents today more than 2,100 graduate Ichthyologists working
in Greece and Cyprus. With a 60% of them working on their study’s sector
after graduation, most of our members works as scientific personnel in
aquaculture (75%), followed by a significant percentage working on public
administration (15%), and research (10%).
The Society has the dual role of Workers’ Union, dealing with working
conditions, wages, and Health & Safety issues for those working mainly
on private sector, and Scientific Society’s.
We continuously educate and train our members, and colleagues, initially
through AquaMedit International Congresses (5 from 2002 to 2010),
evolved to HydroMediT International Congresses on Applied Ichthyology
& Aquatic Environment (from 2014, every 2 years, with Univ. of Thessaly,
Univ. of Aegean, TEI of Western Greece), more at www.hydromedit.gr,
workshops, and training courses to disseminate R&D results.
PASTI is a Scientific and Professional Society
Established in 1991
The present status
Members with full status (more than 430 today) can participate (guided by
our BDs) as a part of our scientific & technical network to any R&D project.
PASTI from its foundation participate as major stakeholder to every public
consultation in Greece on the development of fisheries & aquaculture
sectors (discussions on legislation, minimisation of conflicts, marine spatial
planning, reduction of environmental impact of farms, sitting of fish cages,
promotion of sustainable aquaculture, etc).
We participate in many EU funded projects, based on our unique expertise
as a Scientific Stakeholder (e.g. AQUAMED, PEGASO, IONIO, CONSENSUS,
ADRIPLAN, Med-IAMER, etc), with major involvement in AquaSafe (Work
safety and health risk prevention for aquaculture (funded by the OSHA),
and INTRANEMMA (Innovation Transfer Network for Mediterranean
Mariculture, Leonardo da Vinci - Transfer of innovation, as subcontractor).

The present status
A total of 521 FRAs were identified in the study area, out of which 511
are national (254 established by fisheries, 21 by environmental, 85 by
archaeological and 151 by maritime legislation), 6 are EU, and, 4 are
International FRAs.
All the FRAs identified and mapped cover approximately 56.2% of the
Aegean sea. 38.0% of the study area is covered by permanent and
27.6% by seasonal FRAs
In most of the FRAs mapped in the study area, restrictions on fishing
activities concern the use of towed and mobile gears, while the use of
static gears is restricted in approximately half of the FRAs identified.
It was estimated that towed, mobile and static gears are permanently
prohibited in 38.0%, 3.2% and 2.4% of the Aegean sea, respectively.

Management of Recreational Fisheries
There is a specific national legal framework (Presidential
Decree 373/1985) for the activities.
The activities are strictly inspected.
In 2014 repealed the license procedure (since 1966).
A new framework for licensing was suggested from our
authority, but not accepted by the Hellenic Parliament.
A modified version for licensing submitted.
