Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) The driftnet fishing is carried out by an undefinable number of small-scale multipurpose fishing vessels, the vast majority of which operating without any regular scientific and control monitoring. Due to the small scale nature of these fishing activities, which makes it easy to escape monitoring, the control and enforcement efforts have not produced the necessary results in terms of conservation of marine resources, in particular with regard to certain protected species. That is why it is important, alongside monitoring measures, to add awareness-raising and information-related activities regarding the need to introduce new measures for sustainable fisheries.
