Authors Summary
In July 2023 the Grant Agreement for the EU LIFE project CIBBRiNA (Coordinated Development and Implementation of Best Practice in Bycatch Reduction in the North Atlantic, Baltic and Mediterranean Regions) was signed. This project aims to contribute to several treaty and EU objectives in minimising, and where possible eliminating, incidental bycatch of endangered, threatened and protected species of marine mammals, birds, turtles and elasmobranchs. One of the most important objectives is to achieve successful cross-sectoral cooperation between fishers, regulatory authorities, researchers and other key stakeholders, both within and between countries. The project consists of 10 work packages and 8 case studies focusing on implementing effective mitigation measures and improved monitoring programmes and will run from September 2023 until September 2029. The total project budget is 12,4M euro, of which 8,3M (67%) is EU grant. The Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality is the coordinating beneficiary of the project and the consortium consists of 45 partners from 10 EU countries, along with Iceland, Norway and the UK, as well as the IWC, through its Bycatch Mitigation Coordinator, several pelagic fishing industry organisations and ICES. The Stakeholder Advisory Board comprises members from 30 organisations including OSPAR, ASCOBANS and five fisheries Advisory Councils. A description and progress update is provided for each of the work packages.
