In our July 2024 newsletter, we announce the launch of our search for a fishery in England who could be perfectly placed to be our partner in a second bycatch monitoring and mitigation trial. Can you help us find them?
In this edition, you’ll also find:
The report-back from our Reflections Workshop held in May
Our experiences of attending the first Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) Regional Symposium for Europe
A call from Defra for their bycatch evidence stock-take
Voices from the Clean Catch network: Ruth Williams
Highlights from the Bycatch Mitigation Hub: The practice of “backdown”
A round-up of recent developments in bycatch policy, news, and research – including a blog post from our sister project Insight360 and a major new report on the rates of bycatch of seabirds in European waters
Events of note – including the ICES annual conference and the MASTS Annual Science Meeting
