Such a tragedy - Eel "management plans". @icesmarine.bsky.social again highlight that member states plans are failing to make a substantive difference & reporting data are also missing. Mortality, usually non-fishing, is far too high doi.org/10.17895/ice...

I'm updating my summaries for the upcoming @icesmarine.bsky.social working group on Stakeholder Engagement (25-27 March) & drew heavily from the 2021 ICES report on engagement, with additions from the last few years doi.org/10.17895/ice...
Details of working group here: www.ices.dk/community/gr...
We had a good session @aaas.org on tangible progress of ecosystem-based management (EBM) across fisheries, renewable marine energy & biodiversity. See my presentation 1drv.ms/b/c/f6ab0a15...
