Past ECI initiatives have successfully pushed back against cruel fishing tactics, particularly practices of hunting sharks for their fins. In this vein, our initiative aims to reduce the number of fish being pointlessly fininshed off when fishing vessels are forced to dump their excess catches due to fishing quota laws.
In order to tackle this problem, we aim to create an initiative where vessels with catches above their quota can donating the excess stocks to food banks. In return, they will receive credit from the government.
This will enshore that these fish stocks do not go to waste, will compensate fishermen for their extra work, feed the hungry and tip the scales towards equity and away from waste.
The opinions expressed on the ECI Forum reflect solely the point of view of their authors and can in no way be taken to reflect the position of the European Commission or of the European Union.
