Today - together with the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (@naturskyddsforeningen) - we had a seminar at the Swedish Parliament (@sveriges_riksdag) on Baltic Sea harbour porpoise, Marine Protected Areas and conservations measures needed. ⠀
Thank you, @miljopartiet, for your time! ⠀
⠀
There are only approximately 500 animals 🐬 left today, and efficient management measures are needed to save them. Read more about this critically endangered species: https://buff.ly/2peyOnN⠀

Illegal, commercial and recreational fishing target #eel migrating to spawning grounds.⠀
The Baltic Sea 🌊 region is of particular importance since most eels here grow into large females, crucial to the success of spawning.⠀
⠀
ICES´s (@ices_asc) latest advise on fishing opportunities states that "all anthropogenic impacts (e.g. caused byrecreational and commercial fishing on all stages, hydropower, pumping stations, and pollution) that decrease production and escapement of silver eels should be reduced to, or kept as close as possible to, zero in 2020."⠀
⠀
This video shows an illegal eel trap net found by Patrik Lundberg while he was diving in Swedish waters (Karlshamn)... When will we stop fishing this critically endangered species? ⚠️ ⠀

Yesterday the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council - #AGRIFISH - decided on the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for the Baltic Sea. 🌊🛥⠀
⠀
The final outcome is better than expected, but the major failure is the missing link between #cod and main pray sprat.🐟🐟⠀
⠀
The #sprat is a key component in the cod´s diet, but the Ministers agreed to raise the sprat TAC above scientific advice and the Commission’s own proposal: there is little point in stopping a cod fishery if the remaining fish will starve! ⚠️⠀
