Further information on obstacle (Description) | Implementation is difficult due to the damage caused by certain species of marine mammals to the business activities carried out by certain sea-fishery owners. |
In the field of testing and the use of fishing gear and devices aimed at reducing incidental catches of protected species, this action has not yet begun. This results from the fact that work is being carried out on the development of alternative fishing gear enabling acquisition of fishing volumes similar to the ones obtained for traditional fishing, currently used. At present, it is difficult to identify alternative tools that would provide the opportunity to ensure comparable profitability of fishing. |
W zakresie testowania i zastosowania narzędzi połowowych i urządzeń mających na celu ograniczenie przypadkowego połowu chronionych gatunków zwierząt, działanie to nie zostało jeszcze rozpoczęte. Brak rozpoczęcia działania wynika z faktu prowadzenia prac nad rozwojem alternatywnych narzędzi połowowych w kierunku umożliwienia pozyskiwania wielkości połowów zbliżonej do połowów narzędziami tradycyjnymi, obecnie stosowanymi. W chwili obecnej, trudno jest wskazać narzędzia alternatywne, które stwarzałyby możliwość zapewnienia porównywalnej opłacalności połowów. Jednocześnie, działanie mające na celu przetestowanie i zastosowanie alternatywnych narzędzi połowowych jest rozważane, w odniesieniu do narzędzi alternatywnych ograniczających niszczenie połowów przez foki. Takie narzędzia mogłyby znaleźć lokalne zastosowanie w regionach najliczniejszego występowania tych zwierząt i niszczenia przez nie połowów. |

Brief description of progress (measurement of effectiveness of measure) | As mentioned in measure MSFD38, a significant part of Polish offshore waters is excluded from trawling activities. The introduction of additional restrictions on bottom trawling to protect the bottom habitat depends, among other things, on the activities of the Ministry of the Environment, to complete and implement conservation plans for marine Natura 2000 sites. The introduction of such plans in Polish marine Natura 2000 areas will also involve the need to regulate fishing in these areas. |
