Minister McConalogue Must Take Steps to Reinstate Ban on Trawlers in Coastal Waters to Ensure Ireland’s Sustainable Fisheries

Dublin, 13 October 2020:- Responding to news that Ireland’s High Court has overturned the ban on vessels larger than 18m from operating within the country’s six nautical mile inshore waters, Birdwatch Ireland and the Our Fish campaign have called on Minister McConalogue to immediately take the necessary steps to reinstate the ban, in order to protect Ireland’s coastal biodiversity and communities.

The ban was born of a policy directive introduced by former Irish fisheries minister Michael Creed in March 2019, following a public consultation, underpinned by the detailed reports by Ireland’s Marine Institute and Bord Iascaigh Mhara (Irish Sea Fisheries Board) on the environmental and socio-economic benefits of reducing the access of large trawlers to Irish coastal waters [1].

In excess of 900 submissions were received from the public, NGOs, inshore fisheries and fishers operating large trawlers. However, following an application for a judicial review taken by fishing vessel operators Tom Kennedy and Neil Minihane, the High Courts’ Justice Michael McGrath found the ban was “void and of no legal effect” [2].

Mr. Minihane and Mr. Kennedy took legal action against the Minister on a number of different grounds, including that the ban would prohibit them from trawling inside the 6nm limit for sprat. Both Mr Minihane and Mr Kennedy are directors and shareholders of companies who operate a number of trawlers over 18m in length.

Over 80% of Irish fishing vessels are less than 12m in length [3]. These smaller vessels are entirely dependent on the 6nm coastal zone for all of their landings, whereas trawlers over 18m only caught 2.6% of their landings in this zone previously, and they have access to offshore fish stocks. Additionally, these larger trawlers have the biggest impact on this coastal zone, which is crucial for ecosystem services such as fish nursery areas.

“We trust that Minister McConalogue will take decisive action to prioritise sustainable fisheries management in Ireland’s inshore waters on behalf of the vast majority of Irish fishers and coastal communities, instead of the demands of a few interested parties”, said Fintan Kelly, Policy Officer at Birdwatch Ireland. “The Minister must take steps to ensure that a ban on large trawlers within the 6nm limit is brought into effect as soon as possible, while ensuring that all affected stakeholders are afforded the right to consultation as highlighted in the court ruling”.

“It is significant that Justice McGrath agreed with the Minister’s position that the applicants do not have any property rights, in that fish stocks are a natural resource belonging to the Irish State, as the privatisation of fishing quota by large trawlers would be a significant negative precedent. Fish are a commons resource owned by the Irish people and managed by the Minister on their behalf. They are not the private property of individual fishing companies”, continued Kelly.

“It’s devastating that one of Ireland’s few laws that actively supported hundreds of low-impact fishers and their coastal communities, and could deliver massive environmental benefits, has been overturned on a technicality in favour of some of the most destructive fishers in the industry. Ireland was making positive progress by eliminating industrial fishing in coastal waters and it’s urgent that the new Minister take the legal steps necessary to reinstate the law. This is particularly important if the Irish government is genuine about its ambitions to halt the biodiversity and climate emergency”, said Rebecca Hubbard, Programme Director at Our Fish.

According to Ireland’s Marine Institute, restricting the access of larger trawlers inside Ireland’s 6 nautical mile zone would lead to improved protection of coastal environments, ecology and essential fish habitat. Fishing has significant effects on local ecology and ecosystems; particularly when fishing is intensive locally and results in overfishing. Overfishing stocks such as herring and sprat which provide food for fish, seabirds and mammals can have serious consequences for marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The ban would provide ecosystem benefits, including for nursery areas and juvenile fish stocks. It would also further the sustainable development of the small scale inshore and the sea-angling sectors which strongly rely on inshore waters (see note 3).

Irish Examiner: Overfishing of oceans is unsustainable

Pádraig Hoare, Irish Examiner, Monday, September 28, 2020 – 06:30 AM

The oceans are vast, and the bounty is plentiful — at least, that is the perception of fishing among us laypeople.

However, according to the scientists, among them 50 of Ireland’s top researchers and academics, that perception could not be more wrong.

If we continue the way we fish in our seas and oceans, we are heading towards catastrophe.

Experts say that gloomy scenario is not hyperbole, but also that it is reversible if the practice of overfishing is tackled.

Overfishing is a clear and present danger to biodiversity, climate and human health, according to more than 300 scientists in the EU, including around 50 Irish experts.

They have sent a joint statement to the EU Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius, calling for action.

End overfishing “as an urgent and necessary response to the biodiversity and climate crises” is the crux of their pleas to the European Commission, European Parliament and EU member states.

…
The statement, which including signatories from UCC, UCD, NUI Galway, TCD, Galway-Mayo IT and Queen’s University Belfast among other leading European institutions, calls for recognition “that ecosystem-based fisheries management is critical to the health of the ocean and its capacity to respond to climate change and that fishing limits must be set accordingly”.

…

“The combined effects of climate change and overfishing are accelerating the decline of ocean health. Ending overfishing would reduce the cumulative pressures on the ocean, increase its resilience and contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change. It would be decisive and important climate action and it can be taken today,” the scientists say in their statement.

…

Programme director of campaigning initiative Our Fish, Rebecca Hubbard, said the evidence is incontrovertible and the conclusions unavoidable unless change and sustainability is forthcoming.

“The science is clear – now the EU must ensure that a healthy ocean is central to its response to the nature and climate crisis – and that means finally putting an end to overfishing.

“Just like with our own health, if we continue to batter the ocean with overfishing, the whole system will weaken further, until it can no longer provide us with the life-support we need it for – oxygen, climate regulation, food and jobs. The EU must stop dragging its feet and take this clear and decisive action now, before it’s too late.”

Euronews: EU must end overfishing to protect our oceans, say scientists

Euronews Living, 10 September 2020: Euronews: EU must end overfishing to protect our oceans, say scientists

A statement has been signed by more than 300 scientists calling for the EU to end overfishing to protect the health of our oceans.

The message, delivered to EU Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius earlier this week, said that limits on fishing must be imposed “as an urgent and necessary response to the biodiversity and climate crises”.

Fishing is one of the most significant contributors to declines in populations of ocean wildlife. It isn’t catching fish itself that is bad for the ocean, but when they are caught at a rate that means they can’t replenish – it becomes a problem.

“Overfishing means taking more fish out of the water than can grow back. To be honest, that’s pretty stupid,” said one of the signatories, Dr Rainer Fröse from the Helmholtz centre for ocean research in Kiel, Germany.

…

“The science is clear – now the EU must ensure that a healthy ocean is central to its response to the nature and climate crisis – and that means finally putting an end to overfishing,” said Rebecca Hubbard, Programme Director of Our Fish.

End Overfishing: 300 Scientists Urge EU To Protect Ocean Health As Climate Action

Looking for the scientist statement, and how to sign it? Please go here.

Brussels, 10 September 2020:- “End overfishing” – that’s the message delivered to EU Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius this week, as part of a statement signed by more than 300 scientists calling for action by the European Commission, European Parliament and EU member states to end overfishing “as an urgent and necessary response to the biodiversity and climate crises”.

The scientists are urging the EU to set fishing limits within scientific advice, and recognise that “ecosystem-based fisheries management is critical to the health of the ocean and its capacity to respond to climate change” [1,2].

The signatures will also be delivered to EU Member State fisheries ministers, before annual fishing limits are agreed for 2021, and to Members of the EU Parliament who are preparing their response to the EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy [3].

The statement, signed by leading voices in the marine science field, including Professor Carlos M. Duarte, Professor Hans-Otto Pörtner, Dr Valérie Masson-Delmotte, Professor Rashid Sumaila, Dr Ute Jacob, Dr Jean-Baptiste Jouffray, Professor Didier Gascuel, Dr Rainer Fröse, Professor Alex Rogers, Professor Victoria Reyes-Garcia, Dr Sandra Cassotta, Professor Stiig Markager, and Professor Daniel Pauly, was delivered this week to EU Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius by the Our Fish campaign.

“Overfishing and bycatch are the largest drivers of biodiversity loss in the ocean”, said Professor Alex Rogers, Science Director at Rev Ocean. “We need a healthy and productive ocean, and ending overfishing is key. This is especially the case when faced with the effects of climate disruption, which affects the whole ocean, including fish stocks themselves. As a scientist, I am calling on the EU to recognise that ecosystem-based fisheries management is critical to the health of the ocean and its capacity to respond to climate change. It is also vital for human health, including that of future generations”.

“Overfishing means taking more fish out of the water than can grow back. To be honest, that’s pretty stupid. Because then the stocks shrink, and shrunken small stocks can only support small catches. So that makes no sense at all; it doesn’t help the fishermen, it doesn’t help the fish, it doesn’t help anyone. The whole thing also has an impact on the climate; fish stocks that are too small cannot fulfill their role in the ecosystem. If the ecosystem does not function properly, it cannot breathe properly and cannot absorb CO2 properly”, said Dr. Rainer Fröse, GEOMAR – Helmholtz centre for ocean research Kiel, Germany.

“The science is clear – now the EU must ensure that a healthy ocean is central to its response to the nature and climate crisis – and that means finally putting an end to overfishing”, said Rebecca Hubbard, Programme Director of Our Fish. “Just like with our own health, if we continue to batter the ocean with overfishing, the whole system will weaken further, until it can no longer provide us with the life-support we need it for – oxygen, climate regulation, food and jobs. The EU must stop dragging its feet and take this clear and decisive action now, before it’s too late”, concluded Hubbard.

Food Ingredients 1st: Fears grow that overfishing will result in stocks having “no chance to recover” as Europe sets limits for 2021

Food Ingredients 1st, 1 September 2020: Fears grow that overfishing will result in stocks having “no chance to recover” as Europe sets limits for 2021

Ocean lobby groups and NGOs have been left reeling following the latest European Commission proposal for Baltic fishing limits for 2021. While they welcome plans to preserve fish stocks as “promising”, the fishing limits for Western Baltic herring and other fish do not go anywhere near far enough and have prompted grave concern that overfishing is still far too high, leaving the overfished population “with no chance to recover.”

“Overall, this proposal is a marked improvement on the years before. The Western herring element is a disappointment, but the Commission has otherwise made clear that Maximum Sustainable Yield is a limit that must be respected and that sustainable fisheries management is crucial to restoring the health of the whole Baltic sea ecosystem,” Rebecca Hubbard, Programme Director for Our Fish tells FoodIngredientsFirst.

…

“Unfortunately, the health of the Baltic, and all of the fishing industries depending on it, are still suffering as a result of decades of mismanagement. It’s recovery will take time, but we hope this proposal and the Council’s decisions are the turning point for committing to this recovery,” Hubbard highlights.

“Unfortunately, the Western Baltic herring population has slumped so low that the vast majority of herring being consumed is from the North East Atlantic now. The largest share of quotas go to Germany – and there the majority goes to the richest industrial fishing company – so there isn’t even a short-term benefit for small-scale fishers and regional communities,” says Hubbard.

“Both Germany and Denmark used ‘socio-economic’ reasons to justify increased quota last year, however the Danish processing factory has since closed and the German factory apparently processes herring from UK waters exclusively. It is therefore illogical and irresponsible to propose overfishing Western Baltic herring. It is an unfortunate disappointment in an otherwise thoughtful proposal from the Commission,” she adds.

The EU AGRIFISH Council will discuss the Commission proposal and decide on the 2021 TACs for Baltic fish stocks at the AGRIFISH Council meeting on October 19-20.

“AGRIFISH ministers are infamous for ignoring science and putting short-term profits for a few big players in the industry first. We hope that this year, Baltic leaders instruct their fisheries ministers to put a stop to this. We are at a tipping point and we have acknowledged this by signing up to the Green Deal. In order to deliver on this commitment for a liveable planet, to protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change, we must end overfishing,” Hubbard concludes.

EU Council of Ministers Urged to Take Decisions to Counter Baltic Sea Fisheries Crisis

Brussels, 31 August 2020:- Responding to the publication of the European Commission’s proposal for Baltic Sea fishing limits for 2021, NGOs today called on EU Baltic state governments to adopt most of the Commission’s proposed measures – and to go a step further by putting a stop to overfishing of Baltic herring [1].

NGOs WWF, Oceana, Seas At Risk, Coalition Clean Baltic and Our Fish welcomed the European Commission’s proposal of Baltic fishing limits for 2021, which includes increased food web considerations and an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management, along with additional measures to protect fish populations. However, the proposed fishing limit for Western Baltic herring is a “stinging disappointment”: it remains far too high and provides the overfished population with no chance to recover.

In light of the critical status of key stocks and of the poor state of the Baltic Sea ecosystem, NGOs are calling for coordinated and decisive action by all Baltic countries to urgently address this environmental and socio-economic crisis.

“Fishing mortality based on Maximum Sustainable Level (MSY) has finally been recognised by the Commission as a limit and not a target”, said Ottilia Thoreson, Director, WWF Baltic Ecoregion Programme. “A sprat TAC proposed at a level lower than the sustainable threshold is a clear signal that the European Commission takes into account wider ecosystem considerations in their decision. In this case setting a lower TAC for this pelagic species would help provide food availability for the endangered Eastern Baltic Cod population which is in shortage. We hope EU fisheries ministers will approve this reasonable proposal which is fully in line with Common Fisheries Policy requirements.”

“After several years of bad decisions, there are no easy choices left. We call on EU Member States to save the Baltic Sea and to adopt the necessary reductions in catch limits, as well as the additional measures proposed by the European Commission. Key stocks are in a critical state and the Baltic needs urgent action after decades of negligence. All countries sharing this sea basin must get together and find a solution to the crisis at the Our Baltic conference at the end of September. This must be a real tipping moment to initiate the recovery of the Baltic Sea,” said Vera Coelho, Senior Director of Advocacy at Oceana in Europe [2].

Andrea Ripol, Fisheries Policy Officer at Seas At Risk said: “While this year’s proposal by the Commission is a promising positive sign for several fish stocks in the Baltic, it is disappointing to see how Western Baltic Herring will continue being overfished in 2021, ignoring for the third year in a row scientific recommendations to close its fishery. Ending overfishing as soon as possible is a first step towards the goal of making the ocean healthy by 2030, as requested by over 100 NGOs in the Blue Manifesto, and was reiterated as a commitment of the EU under the Biodiversity and Farm to Fork Strategies. We call on the Fisheries Council to live up to the challenge, end overfishing for all stocks as required by the Common Fisheries Policy and stop favoring short-term socioeconomic gains over the long-term recovery of the Baltic Sea marine environment”.

Nils Hoglund, Fisheries Policy Officer at Coalition Clean Baltic, said: “The Commission’s strong proposal shows the urgency of the situation in the Baltic. Unfortunately, even with strong proposals and reduced fishing opportunities this is not enough, as EU member states sadly have a track record of pushing fishing limits upwards. We must refocus on the real prize, of reaching for good environmental status for the ecosystem as a whole, and to stop looking at fish as something we can just harvest without invoking far-reaching impacts. Eastern Baltic cod is a case in point – the fishery is broken and will not show signs of recovery for many years. We cannot accept this spreading to other fish stocks, and the warning call this collapse represents could not possibly be louder”.

Our Fish Programme Director Rebecca Hubbard said: “This year we are pleased to see Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius, who hails from the Baltic region, take a stronger stance in favour of protecting its marine biodiversity. Unfortunately, the proposal to continue overfishing Western Herring still plays to the rich, industrial-scale fleet of the German fishing industry [3], which is a stinging disappointment for this suffering iconic fish population and Baltic Sea health. Overfishing is draining the lifeblood of the ocean, which we need to be in full health now more than ever, in order to mitigate and respond to climate change. Ending overfishing is an urgent and necessary response to the biodiversity and climate crises, and it is now down to EU fisheries ministers to end its devastating impact in the region”.

The EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) requires sustainable exploitation of EU fish stocks by 2020 at the latest, in order to rebuild their populations, and the application of an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management [4]. Member States are also legally-bound to the sustainable exploitation of fish stocks by 2020 under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive [5]. Each year, ICES provides scientific advice for fishing limits in EU seas [6], which the European Commission uses as the basis for its proposal for fishing opportunities. The EU AGRIFISH Council will discuss the Commission proposal and decide on the 2021 Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for Baltic fish stocks at the AGRIFISH Council meeting on 19-20 October.
