On 20 October 2005, the Fisheries Secretariat, the Swedish Board of Fisheries and the Swedish Fishermen’s Federation hosted a seminar about the problems facing the eel stock, its management and eel fisheries. The seminar was held at the Observatory Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
Is the eel disappearing? Current status and future consequenses
The purpose of the seminar was to give an overview of the status of the eel stock as well as exploitation patterns, threats, current management measures, and future possibilities and risks. The organisers would also like to see the seminar as a starting point for further discussions and cooperation on eel management in Sweden.
With our seminar, we wanted to highlight the national and international issues that need to be dealt with. The seminar was primarily targeted at Swedish stakeholders.
The current situation is unsustainable and all stakeholders know that something needs to be done. With our seminar about eel, eel fishing and management, we want to highlight the national and international issues that need to be dealt with. The seminar is primarily targeted at Swedish stakeholders.
