Very impressed with this opinion piece from 36 Swedish chefs. They're more knowledgable than the civil servants and politicians put together.
Maybe because their livelihoods like those of coastal fishermen depend on well managed resources?

Baltic Sea #Emergency : join us in #Brussels on 26 June to jointly tackle with #fishers, @EU_MARE and fisheries experts the closure of the #cod fishery, the role of scientific advice and the impact on small-scale fishing communities. Register here shorturl.at/ywc7T

1/2 This relatively short video from @nntaleb from almost 10 years ago has one of the most important math lessons that I've ever learned, and it comes up again and again in evaluating risk youtube.com/watch?v=nDY_fh2T…

Not just a victory for seabirds but also for fishers who depend on thriving stocks & sufficient prey.
Sincerely hope the EU follows suit and implements similar measures throughout our seas.
Sidenote - in the Baltic sandeel catches are completely unregulated (albeit small).

Det aldrig har funnits så lite strömmingbiomass i Bottenhavet.
Enligt ICES: “In 2022, 99% of the Swedish catches came from trawls, 1% from gillnets and 0.03% from other fishing gears.”
Känns förvirrande att ministern hävdade att beslutet var till för att hjälpa kustfiskare.
Bra. Strömmingskvoten är inte i linje med EU:s fiskeripolitik. Enligt denna ska bestånden ligga över (artikel 2.2) den nivå som producerar s k Maximal Hållbar Avkastning, absolut inte under B-lim - gränsen för riskerad kollaps. Solklart vilseledande. dn.se/sverige/landsbygdsmini…

One day we will get a Baltic paper!
It may be the simplest ecosystem in terms of species diversity but we still lack science.
Cod is a choke species for plaice (and pelagic species), while herring should limit the sprat fishery.
No mixed fishery analysis = keep on overfishing!
🚨 Advice release: ICES advice to @EU_MARE, @NFdep & @DefraGovUK on mixed-fisheries considerations is out today. (1/2)

Would like to read this!
In Europe current HRC is totally biased against coastal fishermen. Modelling and management are short-term yield focused. Population structures get truncated and we have a lack of big fish problem.
Nice work! My student @JoshuaZahner has been testing a harvest control rule based on the biomass of big fish in a herring population, instead of based on total biomass... since big fish are more valuable per kg. Paper accepted at ICES JMS.

Very happy to announce that I have received a 3-year ECR @FormasForsk grant to continue our work on the age structure of exploited fish stocks @_SLU @SLU_aqua. The grant builds directly on our ABImsy work recently published in @FishFishJournal - doi.org/10.1111/faf.12789 🐟🎣💻

Me and Mrs Lövin talk about the failed CFP policies and what needs to change (in Swedish only I am afraid but u know how to solve that)
Östersjön mår sämre än någonsin, enligt Helcoms senaste sammanställning. Mer av samma politik kommer inte hjälpa; Därför behövs en ny havslag på EU-nivå. Skriver i Altinget med @CCBnetwork @Nils_Hoglund altinget.se/artikel/det-beho…

True in economics and also with fish.
POWELL CALLS OUT MODEL MYOPIA
“Even w/state-of-the-art models & even in relatively calm times, the economy frequently surprises us. But our economy is flexible & dynamic & subject to unpredictable shocks, such as a GFC or a pandemic…forecasters have to think outside the models”

Small fish have a big impact on the marine ecosystems. With the poor status of herring stocks in the Baltic, a greater focus on their role is urgently needed. FishSec has launched a new project: fishsec.org/2023/11/08/small…

The Green Party from Sweden report the EU Council and Swedish government to the European Court regarding the Baltic quota decision from earlier this week.
This is because the decision goes against the EU management plan.

A very conservative estimate is that 3,000,000 cod will be thrown away next year.
If you assume discards of 1.000 ton at 300+ gram per fish.
Can understand anglers not being impressed.

Disastrous and counterproductive Baltic quota decision from Council.
Industrial hoover trawlers, who have caused stock collapse, get an increase of almost 100.000 tonnes.
Low impact coastal fishermen get locked out of western herring stock and a few crumbs from the table.

In LIFE's view, this is far from the case.
Sadly lacking from their rant, is consideration of how to ensure a fair and just transition for all - a key element of the EU's Action Plan.
The Marine Action Plan is all about a question of balance. The status quo is not an option
