End of the porbeagle fishery

01 December 2009

Following the “Grenelle de la Mer” multi-stake holder negotiations and thanks to BLOOM’s determined action on the porbeagle issue (France held Europe’s last fishery targeting an endangered species), the December 2009 Ministerial Council in Brussels set a zero quota for the French porbeagle fishery. This put an end to an archaic and unjustifiable fishing practice.
