In our April 2024 newsletter, we’ve put out an open call for anyone who has engaged with us in the past to share their perspectives on the programme to date, so that we can learn from past experiences and inform next steps whilst exploring how best to include everyone in the co-design of the second phase of the programme.
In this edition, you’ll also find:
- A summary of our activities at this year’s Marine Strandings Network Forum
- A call from Defra for their bycatch evidence stock-take
- Voices from the Clean Catch network: Rob Deaville
- Highlights from the Bycatch Mitigation Hub: Lights (LEDs)
- A round-up of recent developments in bycatch policy, news, and research – including a fresh blog post from our sister project Insight360 and a new EU report exploring best practices for improving selectivity of fishing gear and reducing bycatch
- Events of note – including the SMMR and ICES annual conferences
