"I welcome this effort to address the problems related to the 2004 Cod Recovery Plan which has clearly proven to be ineffective. Despite various measures, cod stocks have shown little sign of recovery.
The most important point made in this proposal relates to reducing discards. In the current climate of food shortages and extremely challenging times for fishermen, this can only be described as a totally illogical and wasteful practice.
The quota for Total Allowable Catches is so low and fishermen are forced to throw back large quantities of fish into the sea, despite the fact that this practice contributes nothing to the effort to replenish stocks.
Of course, we must continue to take measures which protect our cod stocks. However, we should also bear in mind the bigger picture. Climate change and the impact of global warming may have more to do depleted stocks than fishermen simply trying to make a living out of this industry."@en1
