RT @VSinkevicius: Local coastal communities must be fully part of the @UN Ocean Conference.
Had the chance to talk with fishermen, NGOs & blue economy frontrunners in Cascais.
We must conserve & restore marine ecosystems, reconcile economic activities & push forward a sustainable #BlueEconomy.
RT @VSinkevicius: This past week was a milestone for our Nature on land & at sea!
We rolled out our proposal for a Nature Restoration Law & our new International Ocean Governance Agenda.
Ending the week in Portugal, to launch our #EUBeachCleanUp & join the @UN Oceans Conference tomorrow!

Ocean policy officer @WWFEU , @Louis_Lbts reminds us that if all should strive to minimize their impact through innovation, we mustn’t forget the socio-economic struggle this brings for fishers. A big part of EU policy is and shall remain “leave no one behind”.
@BrianLIFE_EU: "Use the right gear in the right place at the right time."
Fishing is a polyvalent activity, which should rely on a co-management process between fishers and scientists to determine the sensitive areas and habitats to determine where we can fish.
Researcher at @ILVOvlaanderen , Els Toreele sets that as a scientist need to be careful to not fall into the trap of strict science. Having the knowledge on board of fishers, both of their data & experience, is key to informing scientific advice.
@BrianLIFE_EU: "Use the right gear in the right place at the right time."
Fishing is a polyvalent activity, which should rely on a co-management process between #fishers and #scientists the sensitive areas and habitats to determine where one can #fish.
@ICES_ASC chair, Dr. @DickeyCollas walks us through the pillars of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (#EAFM):
1. Ability to achieve - A system that delivers.
2. Ecological well-being
3. Human well-being
DG @vitcheva_eu highlights the priorities an effective implementation of an EAFM could address:
- asses the impact of fishing on sensitive habitats & species
- account for trends in the ecosystems when managing fisheries
- promote the engagement of stakeholders
Welcome to the 2022 Fisheries Science Seminar!
Commissioner @VSinkevicius starts us off for this session dedicated to the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (#EAFM) and reminds us that “The challenges we face today require a more holistic approach.”
Last call to join in tomorrow for the 2022 #EUFishScience !
Join in to learn more about how we can implement further an Ecosystem Approach to #Fisheries Management.
