The EU-funded @MINOUW2015 project combined science & innovation with fishers expertise, to develop fishing technologies and practices that reduce #bycatch and contribute to discard-free fisheries.

#BREAKING #WWF & NGOs raise alarm against Italy, France & Spain blatantly failing to #endoverfishing in West #Mediterranean waters. Next EU #Agrifish council must force them to abide EU #CFP law to reduce fishing effort & adopt selectivity measures bit.ly/3GujOUM

*New Trial Alert* Trial 327 from the @MINOUW2015 project is now on the #GearingUp Tool. The trial aimed to reduce #hake & #redmullet bycatch in #demersal fish #fisheries. Take a look ➡️ (link: buff.ly/2YXeAM0)

"With the Landing Obligation now in place, it’s vital this isn't just another project to sit on a shelf & stagnate, but one that will get more useful with time.” Check out the new article on @world_fishing to see what Gearing Up has planned for the future. buff.ly/2TILblv

Some important insights in the @UKHouseofLords report on the #LandingObligation. They cite the need for uptake of more selective gear to avoid quota restrictions on non-target species. Read their report here: buff.ly/2VWHQR0

@MINOUW2015 project has its final review meeting in Brussels. Topic is, hpw to decrease the discards in fisheries, especially in Mediterranen Sea. Not an easy task due to very high number of species.@EU_MARE
MINOUW retweeted
Lack of data on real catches is now a major problem for fisheries management and when giving fisheries advise as results of the #cfp #LandingObligation as discards seam to continue but are now unreported according to @ClaraUlrich_DTU @DISCARDLESS @EU_MARE @MINOUW2015

The Catalan government @agriculturacat @govern is very happy to host this visit of French fishers from the Var to acquire first-hand knowledge on #theCatalanfisheriesmodel . Stakeholders’ empowerment through co-management is a win-win approach!
Co-management, marketing, governance: fishers from the #Var Region packing for a trip to visit our members in #Catalonia! Exciting week ahead - with the participation of our Coordinator @MartaCavalle and friend @Halieutique2020 !
