Bycatch is the catching of non-target species, like flapper skate, thornback rays, and juvenile fish, during commercial fishing - it is common when bottom-trawling for scampi due to the small mesh size of the nets used. It impacts marine biodiversity and vulnerable species, disrupting ecosystems, especially for at-risk species like flapper skate. To help understand why these species are important take a look at this guide. You can learn more and support the campaign at: bit.ly/SayNoToScampi. #SayNoToScampi #bycatch #discardless

I put this in Discardless Niv Mizzet

Interesting app came out of this paper and the @DISCARDLESS project x.com/Dr_J_Cee/status/119018…

A new app, aimed to help #fishermen target areas tailored to their #quotas, is being developed by Ireland’s #Marine Institute @MarineInst. The app is part of the @DiscardLess project which aims to phase out the discarding of non-quota fish. fishfocus.co.uk/app-helps-fi…

Comgrats!

@clientearth report bit.ly/32h65gD shows unaccounted discarding of fish, no actions taken, but a simple solution to apply @VSinkevicius @EP_Fisheries @MogensJensenS @ChrisDaviesEU @EU_MARE @PolicyPECH @LordsEUCom @DISCARDLESS @OleRyborg @jennieNilsson @JuliaKloeckner

Interstingly this "Discardless" paper states that: "Contrary to common belief, small‐scale unregulated artisanal fisheries... are probably... among the best examples of an ecosystem approach to fisheries we have." "Right gear, right time, right place", the @LIFEplatformEU motto.

@Dr_J_Cee presets bycatch modeling mapping app designed to increase utilization for fishermen @ICES_ASC #ICESASC19 @DISCARDLESS

The EU has committed to eliminating the practice of discarding: the wasteful practice of discarding unwanted caught #Fish. The @H2020_Funding project @DISCARDLESS, aimed to assist in that. @EU_EASME @EU_MARE Find out more: cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn… discardless.eu/

Thats absolute rubbish,in 4 years Fishers have adapted gears,methods and fishing areas so they dont catch discards but y dont want to hear that as it doesn’t fit your own agenda,ers just the kind of measure fishers take to reduce discards to zero levels

Best summary of #landingobligation implementation by @ClaraUlrich_DTU of @DISCARDLESS: "A lot has happened-and yet nothing has happened..." #Control and enforcement absolutely insufficient, #TACs increased but #discarding continues.This goes against #CFP2020 objective #CFPreality

Did you see the new app developed by @DISCARDLESS and @MarineInst? Another #innovative tool helping #fishermen comply with the #LandingObligation by providing info on #discard 'hotspots' 🐟
