CCB statement regarding the European Commission proposal for a new multi annual management plan for Baltic Salmon
CCB • October 19, 2011
CCB conclude that the proposal has several good components but that amendments and clarifications are needed. It is important to quickly find answers to why young salmon die, to learn more about by-catch problems and to secure better knowledge about the unknown removal of salmon in the Baltic sea for any management plan to have a real effect.
We support the Ocean Act objectives for improving coherence, coordination and effectiveness of EU ocean governance. However, we emphasize that the Act must deliver truly ecosystem-based management and that reaching Good Environmental Status (GES), as defined in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), should be established as a cornerstone of the Act.
We are looking for a Project Coordinator to join our team at the CCB International Secretariat.
