On the 14th of June 2022, we held a workshop during which experts presented the decarbonisation solutions available in the maritime sector, followed by a discussion with various stakeholders on what is needed to decarbonise the EU fishing sector.
This paper is aimed at sharing recommendations and resources developed as a result of the June 2022 workshop, and to instigate action on the necessary path to decarbonisation.
Congratulations on your appointment. Our NGOs BLOOM, ClientEarth, Oceana and Seas At Risk look forward to collaborating with you and supporting your efforts to advance the goals outlined in your mission letters. Together, we work for the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies in fisheries, fair financial and fishing opportunities for coastal, artisanal and small-scale fishing communities, and a shift toward low-impact fishing practices.
This timely event, ahead of the European Commission Energy Transition Partnership workshops (11-12 December) focusing on small-scale, large-scale, and distant-water fisheries, will bring together experts, policymakers, and both small-scale and large-scale fishers to explore the report’s findings and their implications for decarbonisation in the fisheries sector.
A new report from ClientEarth reveals that limits on vessel weight and power under EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) prove no obstacle to switching the EU fishing fleet to energy-efficient and low-carbon propulsion technologies.
