| Baltic Sea: Council agrees on catch limits for 2026 |
| The Council reached a political agreement on new limits on fish catches for the Baltic Sea’s key fish stocks, namely herring, sprat, cod, salmon, plaice in order to ensure sustainable stocks and a viable fishing sector for the future. The agreement on total allowable catches (TACs) and national quotas for 2026 is overall in line with the scientific advice provided by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and sets the maximum quantities each member state will be allowed to catch for each fish stock. EU fisheries ministers took into account both environmental and socioeconomic considerations, aiming to ensure sustainable fishing practices while supporting the livelihoods of those in the fishing industry. |
