On Tuesday 28 March 2023, the Committee on Fisheries will hold a public hearing entitled “Marine pollution (in particular plastic pollution) and its impact on fisheries”.
Plastic from different sources is ending up in our oceans at alarming rates, impacting fish stocks and the fishing sector, with consequences on the health of stocks and on the quality of the product. Plastic pollution has become a major threat to marine environment and to the sustainability of fisheries. Fishers are directly impacted by plastic pollution and have an immediate interest in contributing to address this problem. A holistic approach requires understanding the causes and finding solutions, by fully involving the sector, stakeholders and policy makers.
This hearing aims at understanding the complexities of plastic pollution from the perspective of fisheries: What has been done so far to reduce the plastic pollution’s impact on fisheries? How can fishers contribute to tackling this problem? How to enforce or improve existing regulations?
