On 23 January 2023, the Committee on Fisheries held a hearing on the implementation of the State of play of the Multiannual Plan (MAP) for the Baltic Sea, which has been the first MAP adopted back in 2016. Over the past years, fish stocks in the Baltic Sea have been suffering from a number of problems, not all of them related to the fishing effort, but resulting nonetheless in dwindling stocks, in particular for the Baltic Cod.
The purpose of the hearing is to evaluate and to assess if the multiannual management plan has been helpful in protecting some vulnerable stocks.
It will also look at other factors that contribute to the bad state of the Baltic Sea and its commercial fish stocks, such as pollution and eutrophication.
