Wednesday, May 7th from 10.00 – 12.00 CET.
As you are well aware, in order to enable recovery of the eel population, the European Commission has obliged Member States through the Eel Regulation to draw up Eel Management Plans, including a description of management measures. Examples of such measure include: removing physical barriers, the release of glass eel, a release obligation for anglers and a closed season for eel fishing. In this EFARO workshop we will discuss the possibilities and limitations of EMPs in eel management & recovery, as well as the most important ways forward to achieve better knowledge for better eel management.
We will follow the, by now, usual template of EFARO webinars: first hour dedicated to presentations and, after a short coffee break, the second hour available for questions and discussions. We have the following speakers:
- Jan-Dag Pohlmann, Thünen Institute
- Katarzyna Janiak, DGMARE
- Niki Sporrong, Fiskesecretariatet
- Andrew Kerr, Sustainable Eel Group
