Tomorrow CCB will submit a request for internal review to the Council. We ask how the setting of targeted fishing on herring in the Baltic can be legal in the current circumstances aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/eJjl5…

The European Commission pursued legal action vs. Sweden 🇸🇪 for failing to protect the Baltic porpoise. ⚖️🐬 Sweden has 2 months to take action! ⏰ We need real actions to minimize #bycatch & protect key habitats to #SaveTheBalticPorpoise! Full decision: buff.ly/3Uu5PJ3

What is a 'healthy population structure' of an exploited fish stock? @ICES_ASC has just published a thorough & forward looking analysis with advice. This feeds into EU Environment #MSFD D3C3 - it is a tricky concept but I think they have done a great job doi.org/10.17895/ices.…

Party holding Fisheries Minister post in Sweden received financial support from fishing industry. Nobody understands how fishing can continue with collapsing stocks around us, transparency can perhaps bring aha moments? #corruptionatitsbest expressen.se/ledare/karin-p…

In less than a month, the second ever survey of the Baltic Proper harbour porpoise will start. The survey is supposed to be Baltic-wide, but #Lithuania still has not committed to join. We need all the data we can get! Virginijus Sinkevičius can you pull some strings to get LT to join?
