description:
|
While fish are an important natural resource, populations are also finite and decades of overfishing have resulted in the decline of some fish stocks. In order to make sure the European fishing industry is sustainable and fair, the EU Common Fisheries Policy sets a number of rules for managing European fishing fleets and catches. Each country’s fishing fleet is monitored in a national register and a capacity ceiling of total vessel engine power and total vessel weight is established. The type of fishing gear is also monitored and in some European seas, there are requirements for selective gear to reduce unwanted bycatch. This map shows the distribution of different fishing gear used by the fleets of EU and EEA countries.
