1 Towards elimination of cetacean bycatch in EU waters WDC, EIA & HSI comments on the PECH Committee report on the proposed Regulation on the conservation of fishery resources and the protection of marine ecosystems through technical measures January 2018 Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Humane Society International (HSI) hereby respectfully present our comments on the PECH Committee report with regard to the European Commission s proposal for a Regulation on the conservation of fishery resources and the protection of marine ecosystems through technical measures (2016/0074). For decades, dolphin, porpoise and whale (cetacean) bycatch has been a major conservation and welfare concern in the EU with high numbers continuing to die each year. Despite binding legal requirements to monitor and reduce bycatch, cetacean bycatch monitoring has been insufficient in most fisheries and areas and has thus often impeded the application of effective mitigation. The current EU cetacean bycatch legislation (Council Regulation (EC) No 812/2004) has been found to have significant weaknesses and is being repealed and incorporated into the proposed technical measures regulation (2016/074). This proposed regulation provides the opportunity to improve monitoring and mitigation requirements and to help safeguard European cetacean populations. Regrettably this is an opportunity that has not been seized by the PECH Committee. WDC, EIA and HSI are deeply disappointed that the PECH report did not provide the critically needed strengthening of the Commission s proposed technical measures regulation (2016/0074) on the provisions of the existing cetacean bycatch legislation. It is essential to follow scientific advice and to strengthen the proposed legislation and ensure a higher level of protection for cetaceans and other marine species against bycatch. The leading European expert body, the ICES Bycatch Working Group, has repeatedly raised concern about the inadequate and poor quality of cetacean bycatch monitoring, assessment and mitigation, highlighting the threat posed to populations by current bycatch levels. These scientific concerns have been echoed by Regional Agreements, ASCOBANS and ACCOBAMS, which are dedicated to the conservation of cetaceans, and also by the European Cetacean Society. Similar concerns have been expressed in a recent statement from leading bycatch and fisheries scientists. In order to improve cetacean bycatch measures, the European Parliament must follow scientific advice and strengthen the proposed legislation: - THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR THAT EXISTING BYCATCH LEGISLATION IS INADEQUATE - BYCATCH EVIDENCE IS CURRENTLY BEING IGNORED - MORE CAN AND SHOULD BE DONE TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE BYCATCH If the bycatch and wider fisheries conservation measures are not significantly improved, we strongly recommend that MEPs reject the file at Plenary. This paper outlines the key amendments relating to the issue of cetacean bycatch that we would urge the European Parliament to support or reject.
2 The following PECH AMs should be supported Eliminating sensitive species bycatch AM23, AM34, AM49, AM55 These Amendments explicitly support the elimination of sensitive species bycatch, including for marine mammals, seabirds and turtles. It is important to maintain strong provisions regarding eliminating bycatch. Language should be in line with the strict protection afforded to cetaceans under the Habitats Directive as well as the aim of the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic, North East Atlantic, Irish and North Sea (ASCOBANS) to minimise and ultimately reduce bycatch towards zero. Adequate cetacean bycatch reporting & mitigation measures AM14, AM37, AM116, AM117, AM120 These Amendments will require reporting of bycatch and monitoring of the efficacy of mitigation measures put in place. Member States need to monitor bycatch rates and assess the mitigation measures used and their effectiveness, in order that mitigation can be applied and amended according to its efficacy in reducing bycatch. Many of these monitoring requirements were included in Regulation 812/2004 that will be repealed. Spatial management to reduce and eliminate bycatch AM32, AM121 These Amendments support assessment of fisheries impacts in Natura 2000 sites and real-time closures for sensitive species. Spatial measures such as protected areas and real-time closures are an important mitigation tool. Application of spatial measures is consistent with the requirements of Article 3 of the Habitats Directive and Article 7 2(c) of the Common Fisheries Policy. Sensitive species protection AM71 This Amendment strengthens the definition of sensitive species. The Commission s draft proposal implied that all examples listed (e.g. habitat distribution, population size, and population condition) were needed to apply in order for a species to be considered sensitive. However, it only takes one of these i.e. decline population of population size, for the species status to become unfavourable or in some cases at risk of extinction. Reintroduction of amendments Reintroduction of amendments that address the following should be supported: Addressing welfare impacts on sensitive species: Entanglement in fishing gear is the most significant threat to wild cetacean welfare i and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Reducing incidental catches of seals: Seals are protected under the Habitats Directive and should also be covered by appropriate mitigation measures. Bycatch measures for a more appropriate range of fishing gear types: Prioritisation of monitoring and mitigation should be conducted according to fishing gear type rather than vessel size as gear type is a primary risk factor in influencing bycatch rates. The adoption of the aforementioned measures would help significantly improve bycatch monitoring, assessment and the application of mitigation in order to progressively reduce, and where possible eliminate, bycatch of dolphins, porpoises and whales in fishing gear in all EU waters.

3 The following PECH AMs should be rejected Weakened language AM13, AM15, AM39, AM52, AM115, AM170 These Amendments would weaken obligations regarding eliminating cetacean bycatch. For example, Commission language to ensure that bycatches of marine species that result from fishing are minimised and where possible eliminated is more robust than the PECH rapporteur s language to contribute to minimising incidental catches of sensitive marine species. Under Article 4 there should be no reference to restriction of incidental catches of marine mammals, marine reptiles, seabirds and other non-commercially exploited species to the levels provided for in current Union regulations and international agreements ratified by the Union. Targets (Recital 9, AM15; Article 4, AM52) to progressively reduce and where possible eliminate bycatch are more robust than performance indicators, as in the PECH report. Language used in the PECH report significantly weakens the Commission s proposal, which should also be strengthened to align with the protection provided under the Birds and Habitats Directives. This would weaken Member States obligations to monitor and mitigation cetacean bycatch and likely impede attainment of favourable conservation status, particularly as the language is weaker than the existing Regulation 812 that has failed to adequately address bycatch and is to be repealed. Use of Acoustic Deterrent Devices AM99 This Amendment, which refers to the use of Acoustic Deterrent Devices for all marine mammal species, is not accurate, since they are only proven to reduce bycatch of harbour porpoises. Alternative mitigation techniques, such as coloured float ropes along the top of a static net might be more effective at deterring dolphins and seals and language should allow for other mitigation options as technologies are developed and proved effective. A blanket presumption that ADDs work for all species might deter more innovative and effective solutions being developed. Exemptions for collection and study of marine mammals AM118 This Amendment seeks to provide an exemption from the prohibition on deliberate capture, retention on board, transhipment or landing of marine mammals, marine reptiles or seabirds when caught for the purposes of scientific study. Such an exemption is inappropriate for animal welfare and conservation reasons, retention should only be permitted when the specimen is dead; moreover this is contrary to the strict protection from deliberate disturbance, killing and injury provided to these species under Habitats and Birds Directives 92/43/EEC and 79/409/EEC. Regardless of whether fishing operations are being conducted for scientific investigations or commercial purposes, safeguards to eliminate impacts on sensitive species are required. Reintroduction of amendments to remove bycatch measures in any region Reintroduction of amendments that seek to remove bycatch measures from the Baltic, South Western Waters and/or the Mediterranean Sea should be rejected. These would threaten the critically endangered harbour porpoise population in the Baltic Sea, harbour porpoise, bottlenose and common dolphin populations in South Western Waters and common, striped dolphin, sperm whale populations in the Mediterranean Sea. Given these points, we have great concern that unless language is significantly strengthened so that it follows scientific advice, is fit for purpose and ensures a higher level of protection, the repeal of Regulation 812/2004 and adoption of the technical conservation measures regulation will result in thousands of dolphins, porpoises and whales continuing to die in fishing gear in EU waters.
