Today is a day that keeps on giving - @ICES_ASC publishes its 1st ever ecosystem overviews for #ABNJ Atlantic Ocean and Azores. I am extremely proud of these substantial pieces of work #NEAFC @osparcomm

Meeting of the final Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) Technical Working Group in Barcelona. It has been involved in defining technical requirements + procedures on how REM/CCTV could be best used on fishing vessels for better control and enforcement of the landing obligation.

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

@ClaraUlrich_DTU presenting to @EU_MARE main results from @EU_H2020 project @DISCARDLESS that contributes to implementation of #cfp #LandingObligation. Common policy meeting with sister project @MINOUW2015. How have we progressed? Is the LO working? What can we do better?

Marie Savina-Roland @Ifremer_fr reports @DISCARDLESS @EU_H2020 meeting that ecosystem models suggest that #CFP @LandingObligation is unlikely to cause food shortage for scavangers, but seabirds will suffer @ClaraUlrich_DTU @MatisIceland

European Commission advocating for better control of the landing obligation using Remote Electronic Monitoring at the Conference on fully documented fisheries @EU_MARE @EU_Commission @DISCARDLESS

[Jonas R. Vidarsson @JonasVidarsson]

Veronica Veits @EU_MARE aknowledges that inefficient monitoring, controll and surveillance is a key reason for problems in implementing the #CFP #LandingObligation. Remote Electronic Monitoring #REM is the best way to document complianse @DISCARDLESS

[Jonas R. Vidarsson @JonasVidarsson]

Eva Kjer the Danish minister of fisheries opening a conference on Fully Documented Fisheries. Accountability and transperancy is the big issue and Denmark is ready to lead the way #landingobligation #CFP @DISCARDLESS @MatisIceland

[Gearing Up @GearingUp_]

Check out our partner @DISCARDLESS - another great online tool helping #fishers with the landing obligation. The new app allows fishermen to see where important commercial fish species are likely to be at certain times of the year, so they know the #hotspots to avoid.

[Gearing Up @GearingUp_]

Let there be light - the Northern Ireland Gear Trials Project suggests that some fish such as #whiting are deterred by lights on nets - particularly if the light is blue. More research is needed, but this could be a novel way for reducing bycatch. https://t.co/OukE46kLWi

[Sarah M Buckley @DrSarahMBuckley]

Innovative mapping tool https://t.co/Z6rvVMGwf0 to assist fishers in the Celtic sea with the landing obligation. A useful tool that allows users to construct various maps to show hotspots for catches of TAC choke species & TAC species below minimum size @Dr_J_Cee @DISCARDLESS
