European Fish Week 2010
European Fish Week 2010
June 5 - 13 2010
European Fish Week 2010 took place from June 5-13. It presented a unique opportunity for everybody across Europe to play their part in making this a truly fundamental reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.
During European Fish Week over 20 events were organised by OCEAN2012 member groups in nine European countries – France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. In several countries OCEAN2012 member groups hosted screenings of the End of the Line documentary. Member groups also organised panel discussions, training seminars for teachers, beachside activities, activities for divers and fishers and much more. The events were a great success, and we are already looking forward to next year’s European Fish Week! Find out more
Petition
Over 28,500 people signed the petition launched at the start of European Fish Week asking EU Commissioner Maria Damanaki to promote environmental sustainability as the overarching principle of the future Common Fisheries Policy. The petition will be presented to the Commissioner on 13 September.
Background
Years of intensive fishing in European waters have led to dramatic declines in once abundant fish populations. Eighty percent of assessed EU fish stocks are overfished and more than 30 per cent are outside safe biological limits.
The 2012 reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is an opportunity to stop overfishing, end destructive fishing practices and deliver fair and equitable use of abundant fish stocks. OCEAN2012 is an alliance of organisations dedicated to transforming European fisheries policy and to facilitating greater participation in the reform by broadening stakeholder involvement.
