This chapter describes small-scale fisheries in Slovenia from 1991 to 2014 in the context of implementing Europe’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and its ambition for sustainable development. Firstly, we analyse socio-political and economic changes from 1991, a significant year for Slovene small-scale fisheries, dealing with systemic aspects involving politicians, fisheries specialists, and fishers. This period marked a significant decrease in waters designated for industrial fisheries. Consequently, numerous fishers enrolled in small-scale fisheries. Previous jurisdictions over marine management were also transferred from institutions in the former Republic of Yugoslavia to Slovenia, which first had to establish a national network of fisheries institutions. Subsequently, we describe the processes of EU accession and “harmonisation” of national legislation with EU regulations. Reflecting on this transition, we depict the situation of small-scale fishers in Slovenia such as grappling with borders, regulatory requirements, and new development projects. |
