- 1. Workpackage 1 update 23 JUNE 2014, ROME Giles Bartlett Marine Projects Manager
- 2. Channel Scallop Workshop • Examine scallop management in the channel, i • Bring together groups - including catching sector, processors, government, scientists and NGOs • Identify potential opportunities to strengthen the existing management framework, improve the scientific knowledge base; • Develop long-term goals
- 3. Overview Where do you want to be in 2 years? What do you want to change? Proposal development feedback in plenary, & next steps
- 5. Best practice examples of well managed scallop fisheries: • Maine (US) scallop fishery • Isle of Man scallop fishery • Shetland scallop fishery
- 6. Desired Workshop Outcomes • Increased trust between different stakeholders • Shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities for scallop fishermen • Greater awareness of different perspectives on scallop management in the channel • A number of proposals for improvements that can be developed further • Proposed date and venue for a follow up event in France
- 7. Workshop Outcomes It was agreed that: 1. Improved data is vital to the long-term, sustainable future for the fishery. 2. Fishers would welcome the opportunity to support scientific studies directed towards a full scallop stock assessment. 3. A full capacity assessment of scallop boats operating in the Channel should be undertaken. 4. Particular attention should be paid to ICES area VIId, including the harmonisation of technical measures. 5. This will require further discussion to reach consensus. 6. All measures must be driven, bottom-up, by industry. 7. The establishment of a dedicated working group
- 9. Next events — workshops & meetings 1. Mediterranean Co-management workshop 2. Galician Octopus / TURF 3. Tuna FAD meeting (France & Spain)
Editor's Notes
- Examine scallop management in the channel, including challenges to success and opportunities to improve current management; Bring together groups - including catching sector, processors, government, scientists and NGOs to discuss future management options through a participatory process; Identify potential opportunities to strengthen the existing management framework, improve the scientific knowledge base; Develop long-term goals that aim to deliver a profitable, sustainable fishery compliant with both MSFD and CFP policy objectives.
- Maine (US) scallop fishery (Trisha DeGraaf, Maine Fisheries Dept) Isle of Man scallop fishery (Peter Duncan, Isle of Man Fisheries Dept) Shetland scallop fishery (Jennifer Moutt, Policy Advisor, Scottish Whitefish Producers’ Association)
- It was agreed that: Improved data is vital to the long-term, sustainable future for the fishery. Currently stock and capacity data is poor, which would act as a barrier to developing a coherent regional management plan in the future. Fishers would welcome the opportunity to support scientific studies directed towards a full scallop stock assessment. Greater resources should be directed towards this kind of participatory scientific research. A full capacity assessment of scallop boats operating in the Channel should be undertaken. Particular attention should be paid to ICES area VIId, including the harmonisation of technical measures. This will require further discussion to reach consensus. All measures must be driven, bottom-up, by industry. Whilst this is already broadly the case in France, in the UK greater emphasis should be placed on fishers’ potential contribution to management planning and decisions The establishment of a dedicated working group, with a specific focus on the Channel scallop fishery, would be beneficial to moving forward with agreed suggestions – potentially facilitated through the NWWAC’s current Channel working group.
