Collaborative discard sampling in the Dutch flatfish fisheries |
To increase knowledge on patterns of variation in discards in the Dutch flatfish fisheries. This knowledge will help fisheries managers to reduce discards. By working closely together with the industry we continue building on and strengthening the cooperation between scientists and fishers, in order to generate the necessary information to solve our mutual problems. Furthermore, within this project we seek more acceptance of collaborative data collection methods, not only within the scientific community, but more widely among fishers, NGOs and society in general.Aim
