18 vessels filling self-reporting logbooks 2020-21
3266 settings, 28 seabirds bycaught (64% were shags dead in trammel nets <20m depth; 0.024 shags/trip)
Positive experience, increasing network, need for long-term monitoring

2/4 #WSTC8 #FishSesh Questionnaires and self-reporting logbooks under #zepamar by @SEO_BirdLife allowed to:
- Understand dynamics of the fishery
- Assess #bycatch occurrence and related factors
- Raise awareness, build trust through regular visits to ports, knowledge exchange
1/4 #WSTC8 #FishSesh Seabird #bycatch difficult to assess in Galicia: large small-scale fishery, highly diversified, polyvalent, limited room for observers. Set nets affect the locally vulnerable European shag pop ~1,400 pairs @SEO_BirdLife #zepamar #pleamar #femp @FBiodiversidad

We hope that our work can lay the foundation for an #ecosystem-based #management of coastal #fisheries, and aid in identifying best practices of #mitigation through manageable changes in fishery effort as for instance time and area closures.

@SEAPOP4 data from Hornøya made available by @Tonereiert and colleagues, are used to show the preliminary results of the study. The common guillemot population at Hornøya has increased from barely over a thousand in the 1980s to over 15,000 in recent years

Studies show that 4000 - 8000 seabirds drown in costal gillnets in Norwegian waters annually, with common #guillemot, Uria aalge, accounting for 1/3 of these (https://t.co/1ERFPVKqBP).
The birds get entangled in the net while searching for food.

This is a complex puzzle to piece together.
You need to consider the species’ #susceptibility to bycatch, #movement of seabirds and #fishery activity through the year, what populations are effected and the #demography and population trends of these
#WSTC8 #FishSesh 3/14

Seabird bycatch has been identified as a major threat to seabirds worldwide.
To establish sound #marine #conservation strategies there is an urgent need to rigorously estimate actual mortality rates and quantify impact of bycatch on population viability
