This FAO training video explores the issues and solutions to better manage bycatch and reduce discards in tropical shrimp fisheries.

This publication discusses mitigating problems associated with bycatch in trawl fisheries within the Coral Triangle Region of Southeast Asia.

The link between quotas and discards has been recognised by the EU and amendments to the Common Fisheries Policy have been made to ban the discarding of fish.

This document discusses why discards occur, the size of the problem and the measures being utilized to address it, both by the industry and policy makers.

The Resolution and Plan are intended to serve as policy framework and priority actions to support sustainable development of fisheries and to enhance the contribution from fisheries to food security.
