Help Us Prioritise Key Topics to discuss in relation to Bycatch
We are inviting all stakeholders—fisheries managers, policymakers, industry representatives, NGOs, scientists, and members of the public—to take part in a short questionnaire to help shape the next phase of our engagement on bycatch of Protected, Endangered and Threatened species. Your input will help ensure that the most relevant and pressing issues are brought to the forefront of our collective discussions.

How Will Your Input Be Used?
Responses will guide the development of future content and dialogue on our engagement platform. This includes defining future discussion topics and ensuring we can provide information most of interest to you in our library, organising events and roundtable discussions, focussing policy briefs, and developing collaborative problem-solving sessions. More information on what you need to know before engaging in the platform can be found here (provide link to ethics section)

Who Should Respond?
• Fisheries stakeholders and vessel operators
• National and EU policymakers
• Environmental NGOs and marine advocacy groups
• Scientists and researchers
• Interested members of the public

How to Participate
Please complete our short questionnaire, it will only take a few minutes, and your inputs could shape what we include in future discussions. By sharing your perspective, you're helping build a shared understanding of what matters most.
