Belarus Environmentalists are Pressing Ahead with the Project to Protect Baltic Salmons
CCB • December 14, 2007
In the small Belarus town of Ostrovets the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Round Table was held on the 14th December 2007.
Widespread exploitation of the critically endangered European eel population continues against scientific advice, despite few signs of recovery. Yesterday, the International Exploration of the Sea, ICES, published its scientific advice on fishing opportunities and conservation for European eel for 2026. As in previous years, ICES advises zero catch for all life stages, all uses and in all habitats. The conservation advice is to reduce other human-related mortalities to zero and restore habitats.
EU Council decision on 2026 fishing limits fails to implement legally required safeguards, jeopardising the fragile marine ecosystem
