Overview

This month’s issue examines the consumption and extra-EU imports of crustaceans.

Today I have written to Fisheries and Environment Ministers of 22 European Union Member States about the issue of incidental catches of dolphins and other marine animals in EU waters, especially in the Bay of Biscay and the Celtic Sea,to urge them to collaborate in finding a solution for this situation. As the European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, I am fully committed to resolve this problem.

The map focuses on aquaculture production by species. Aquaculture production refers to the farming of aquatic organisms in freshwater or saltwater (for example, fish, molluscs, crustaceans and plants) for human use or consumption, under controlled conditions.

This map shows the Network of European Blue Schools, part of the EU4Ocean Coalition for ocean literacy. The network encourages teachers to help students of all ages explore the ocean and take part in sea-related projects. There are currently 1655 European Blue schools.
