This week, in collaboration with @ejfoundation.org Senegal, we supported a day of reflection with small-scale fishing community leaders.
This is grassroots leadership in action.
Communities aren't waiting for change; they're organising and advocating for the legal framework they need to thrive.

🐟 Europe can’t afford to keep wasting fish at sea.
Highgrading is illegal, harmful to ecosystems, and unfair to honest fishers, yet it often goes unseen.
This waste puts huge pressure on marine ecosystems and with almost no risk of getting caught, the practice continues.🌊

🐟 In European waters, fish are being wasted: caught and dumped to make room for more valuable catch.
This practice, known as highgrading, is illegal, but most cases go unreported.
This extremely wasteful and unsustainable practice puts pressure on struggling ecosystems and fishers' livelihoods.
