Small fish big impact: time for ecosystem-based management

Location: Brussels, Belgium

Dates: 16 October 2025

Event on the important role that small pelagic fish play in the wider marine ecosystem health across Europe. Event hosted by MEP Isabella Lövin (Verts/ALE) supported by FishSec, Blue Marine Foundation & Irish Wildlife Trust as part of the Brussels Ocean Week. This event aims to shed light on both the importance of forage fish for the wider marine ecosystem, and also highlight why these fish must be managed sustainably and within the principles of the ecosystem-based approach to management. With examples of management in the Baltic Sea and the lack of management in the seas around Ireland, the event will explore weaknesses in the current management regimes as well as key recommendations for ensuring more sustainable exploitation. Finally, the event will also explore the infamous UK-EU dispute over the closure of the sandeel fishery in British waters.
