Federal Ministry of Agriculture - Report on the future of German Baltic Sea fisheries expected

Since last year, a mission statement commission set up by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture has been looking into the future of Baltic Sea fishing. The final report is to be presented to the public in Berlin on Monday (12.30 pm). Authorities, associations and scientists are represented on the commission, which has 30 members.

The fish stocks and the ecological state of the Baltic Sea are in a poor state. German Baltic Sea fishermen will only be allowed to catch a small amount of cod and herring in 2024. The EU member states decided in October that herring may still largely not be targeted in the western Baltic Sea. However, there are exceptions for small boats.
