The EU-Canada Comprehensive Trade and Economic Agreement (CETA) – covering a plethora of issues, including market access, tariffs and non-tariff barriers – has elicited varied reactions from stakeholders. Business associations on both sides of the Atlantic have strongly supported the deal and its aim to boost economic relations between the partners. On the other hand, some civil society groups, trade unions and agricultural associations have voiced hesitations about some of the deal’s provisions ...

Industrial and offshore fisheries using active gear have minor or insignificant interactions with seals, whereas some coastal fisheries based on passive gear can experience severe losses in catches and damages to gear. Seals also have impacts on fish farms, which can be protected by a combination of mitigation measures such as hunting, predator nets and acoustic deterrents. Seals spread a parasitic worm, which is seldom a problem in oceanic systems, but may be locally abundant close to main seal ...

Coexistence between seals and fisheries is desirable and possible. Some seal-safe gear and scaring methods work, but much remains to be done. Gear development requires strong and persistent public support. Awaiting technical mitigation methods economic compensation is possible. The efficiency of protective hunting is doubtful. Opinion differs on whether a reduction of the number of seals will benefit the fishery. A thorough case by case analysis is needed to reach a conclusion about the result of ...

Fish stocks in Scottish waters show strong signs of depletion and overexploitation. Grey seals have increased over four decades but have been gradually stabilising in the last 10 years. Many harbour seal populations have declined sharply in the past 10 years. The diets of both species of seals overlap with commercial fisheries but exploitation rates of fish species by seals are much lower than they are for fisheries. Even a large reduction in the number of seals in Scottish waters would be unlikely ...

Conflict exists between seals and fisheries, with seals affecting fisheries through damage to catches and gear and competition for resources. Fisheries can affect seals through accidental by-catch, and overfishing can reduce prey availability. This briefing note provides a comprehensive review of the situation in Irish waters, using existing data augmented with information from key industry stakeholders to provide a realistic and representative account of the current situation. Recommendations are ...

Executive summary The full report identifies the most important interactions between seals and commercial fisheries in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (including the North and Baltic Seas), summarises information on the abundance and diet of the three most numerous seal species, describes the status of fish stocks that are believed to interact with these population either directly or indirectly, and reviews the methods that have been used to analyse the interactions between seals and fisheries. Interactions ...
