#HighGrading - Twitter Hashtag

over 4 years ago

What is "high grading" and why is it bad? In fisheries, #highgrading is the action of only harvesting the largest best quality fish, discarding the rest. This is to maximize profit in quota fisheries, where fishers are only allowed to bring in a certain number of fish ashore 💰

Much can be learned from Member State #FisheriesControl reports: how they implement the Control Regulation, their successes & challenges. E.g. the 🇮🇪 report shows successes in prosecuting #highgrading, but also finds traditional control tools falling short https://t.co/M3M88j2fwZ

It's time to bring these reports in line with the IUU Regulation and require reporting every two years. This will introduce vital #transparency and provide key information on how to tackle destructive illegal activity like #highgrading in EU waters. (3/4)

Yesterday, @GraceOSllvn was right to highlight in @EP_Fisheries that 26 🇪🇺countries have pledged to accelerate use of green digital solutions to "optimise resource efficiency". Ending #overfishing and tackling illegal fishing practices like #highgrading requires #transparency.

Wisconsin has Managed Forest Law which does pose a similar situation in return for a tax break but I see so many woodlots getting destroyed by #invasives, #highgrading, and mismanagement.

More than 13,000 trees illegally sold on #Kentucky’s #DanielBoone National #Forest. Check out these large diam marked trees, looks like they’re #highgrading. Locally captured federal agencies are a major problem everywhere. @USFSRegion8 we expect better! https://t.co/M5Q4G7xdSR
