@MairiGougeon
despite several FOI's @marinescotland
have not produced any evidence of proportionality re banning creel & dive in Clyde cod saga, probably because there isn't any!
If they assessed relative disturbance the problem would be obvious

#GFCMat70📣 Sharing knowledge across the region

Over the years we've been bringing fishers, managers, scientists + together across the region, sharing experiences & best practices, constantly driving progress.

The #SSFForum is helping put this to action👇https://t.co/7TkC9yUKoG

@AleGalli_Med @LocalCatch @EndOvershoot #SSF in Maine were forced by sea food supply chains 2 catch high volumes in order to make a decent living, which they knew 2B unsustainable, or not be viable. They decided 2 unite in order to get a better price and thus reduce pressure on the target species - it was a success!

[General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean @UN_FAO_GFCM]

We're ready to work hand in hand with all #Mediterranean & #BlackSea countries to ensure the #GFCM2030 strategy's vision is put into action with concrete steps for the sustainability of our marine resources & the livelihoods that depend on them

#SSF need a different treatment to large scale fishing, and both need to have their place clearly defined and respected. The #CFP favours larger scale fishing which gets over 90% of the catches, but represent only 20% of the fleet.

Happy to exchange views today with #MEDAC Executive Committee members on the new #fisheries governance in the Mediterranean Sea: #CFP - EU new general themes and excellent results of the GFCM annual session reflecting ambitions under new #GFCMstrategy

@MerGouv a fait appel de la décision du tribunal administratif de Montpellier annulant l’arrêté sur la répartition du #quota français de #thonrouge, selon lequel le système n'est ni transparent ni objectif, ni conforme aux lois françaises.

Women play a 🔑role in #Mediterranean #BlueEconomy sectors, yet have limited access to resources, tech & opportunities.

On 22 Sept. GFCM's Anna Carlson will be presenting at the @UfMSecretariat webinar on Women in #BlueEconomy

The Med is the most overfished sea basin in the world. This doesn’t have to be this way. Working together we can and will change this. The EU framework is in place and our international partners are also on board #medfish4ever #Med #sea #overfishing

Today is #EarthOvershootDay and still five months to go in 2021.

Let's #MoveTheDate together. #Foodnected aims to connect small-scale food producers and consumers to develop short-chain and sustainable food systems that work for nature and people.

Many steps R needed 2 complete a journey. French courts took such a step by finding in favour of an action taken by #SSF against the unfair Bluefin tuna allocation, citing #Article17. A timely action ahead of #IYAFA and 2022 @EU_MARE CFP implem. report https://t.co/nathQjNBis

[Brian O'Riordan @BrianLIFE_EU]

Reform the CFP in 2022: according 2 WWF most (70%) of the 56% of fishers, those working on vessels <12 metres using passive gear, earn < than the minimum wage. #SDG14 b) calls for access 2B provided 2 SSF 2 resources & markets. Time 2 act 2 make SSF viable

Where we're at ➡️ Strengthened support for the #SmallScaleFisheries that make up 83% of the region's fleet

How we did it ➡️ adoption of #RPOA_SSF, creation of the #SSFForum, & socio-economic surveys in 8 countries + more
