Ask for:
1).Immediate measures to prevent known bycatch problems such as in the Celtic Sea and North Sea gill net fisheries and in pelagic trawl fisheries in the Western Approaches.
2).Compulsory monitoring of cetacean bycatch, using independent observers, in all fisheries with the potential to catch cetaceans incidentally.
3).A formal bycatch response process for each identified bycatch problem, involving fishermen and other stakeholders, to plan and implement management measures to achieve set bycatch reduction targets.
4).Closure of fisheries where bycatch reduction targets are not met.
5).The institutional and policy changes necessary to achieve effective monitoring and mitigation of cetacean bycatch through the current review of the EU Common Fisheries Policy.
