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.
A new report from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and its member organisations reveals widespread PFAS contamination in wild fish across Europe, with many samples far exceeding proposed new safety limits. These so-called "forever chemicals" pose a growing threat to public health and aquatic ecosystems - yet EU Member States are pushing to delay action on needed pollution controls until 2039.
