Podcasts about common fisheries policy

Clare's Minister of State is pledging to a deliver an investment programme that will benefit the county's coastal communities. Tulla Fianna Fáil Deputy Timmy Dooley has visited Killbegs Fishery Harbour Centre in Donegal this week for the first of several stakeholder engagements as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with special responsibility for Fisheries. Ahead of the General Election, six fishing representative organisations called for eight actions to be implemented by the Government including a renogotiation of the Common Fisheries Policy and the safeguarding of fishing stocks. Deputy Dooley says a scheme is on the way to make funding available for pier and slipway upgrades.

In the lead-up to polling day, Fathom has produced a flash series detailing the key priorities for the UK fishing industry. With few references to fishing in the main parties' plans, Chris Ranford, Fathom's co-host and Chief Executive of the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation sits down alongside Mike Cohen, the CEO of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations to lay out the action they would like to see from the incoming government.In this second instalment, we explore the future of fisheries management. Over the course of the last parliament, the government has developed and begun to roll out one of the biggest overhauls in fisheries management and decision-making in decades, following the UK's withdrawal from the EU's Common Fisheries Policy. The idea behind Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) is to replace the EU's top-down system with one that invites collaboration between fisheries managers and fishermen themselves. If a new government takes charge from July 5th, what do they do with the ambitious timetable set out in the joint fisheries statement, as well as the design and implementation of FMPs? Mike and Chris offer their view. Find the CFPO's election manifesto here: https://cfpo.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CFPO-manifesto-2.pdfThe fourth series of the Fathom podcast has been produced by the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation (CFPO) with funding from The Seafarers' Charity.

Karen Sack is a co-founder and Executive Director of the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA), a unique multi-sector collaboration between the private sector, governments, and civil society designed to build resilience in regions and communities most vulnerable to ocean risk. This involves pioneering finance and insurance products that incentivize investment in nature-based solutions. Previously, she served as CEO of Ocean Unite, a non-profit co-founded in 2015 by herself, Sir Richard Branson, and former Costa Rican President José María Figueres. The organization aimed to engage impactful voices at key moments to catalyze ocean conservation action around 30x30. Before that, she held the position of Senior Director for International Oceans at The Pew Charitable Trusts, where she initiated the Global Ocean Commission. Karen has also led Greenpeace International's Political & Business Unit and their international oceans campaign. Her global campaigns include efforts to secure a new high-seas biodiversity treaty, establish large marine reserves and sanctuaries, reform the EU's Common Fisheries Policy, end illegal fishing and high-seas bottom trawling, and drive political and policy action to protect marine species. She is featured on Getting to the Top! to inspire us with her remarkable journey in ocean conservation, advocacy, and policy. Karen has spoken and written extensively on ocean conservation, climate, and sustainable finance.

In this second episode of the fourth series, CFPO CEO Chris Ranford and guest co-host David Stevens, skipper of the Crystal Sea and Chairperson of Fishing into the Future, are joined by Hannah Fennell, Head of Orkney Fisheries Association; Fiona Taylor, Head of Sea Fisheries, Policy and Grants at DAERA; and Robbie Fisher, Head of Domestic Fisheries Sustainability and Devolution,at DEFRA. The episode picks up on the development of new Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs), with the guests reflecting on what they learnt about the U.S. co-management system on a recent exchange trip to the Gulf of Maine.The fourth series of the Fathom podcast has been produced by the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation (CFPO) with funding from The Seafarers' Charity. What can we learn from the rest of the world as we embark on one of the largest overhauls of fisheries management in the UK in decades? 43 FMPs that seek to replace the Common Fisheries Policy are in development, with the UK looking to change what's seen by some as a top-down system in the E.U. in favour of a more collaborative approach.Across the pond, the United States has a well-established co-management model. Last year, The Fishmongers' Company Fisheries Charitable Trust funded an exchange trip with fishers and managers from all corners of the U.K. to the Gulf of Maine to learn more about how the industry, managers, and scientists work together to collect data and make collaborative management decisions. In this episode, we explore the values and principles that underpin the U.S. system and the investment and education that goes into making co-management work. We consider how possible it would be to translate this approach to the U.K.'s new framework, taking into account the differences between the U.K's four nations. Robbie and Fiona also give us an update on the development of FMPs, with Hannah and David providing an industry perspective on what they would like to see from the co-management approach included. The episode is a really useful insight into how the future of fisheries management may look, with the exchange trip and the innovative, cutting-edge ideas that came out of it likely to play an influence in establishing the U.K's new framework.

This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast features an interview with Deborah Rowan Wright, an independent researcher, ocean advocate, and marine-policy researcher who writes about marine conservation. She has worked with the UK NGOs Whale & Dolphin Conservation, Friends of the Earth, and Marinet. Her work on marine renewable energy, ocean governance reform, and public-trust law has been published by the International Whaling Commission and the Ecologist, among others. In 2010, her policy document The Ocean Planet formed an integral part of Marinet's Common Fisheries Policy reform campaign, and it won her Friends of the Earth's Communication of the Year Award. The world's oceans face multiple threats: the effects of Climate Change, pollution, overfishing, plastic waste, and more. Confronted with the immensity of these challenges and of the oceans themselves, we might wonder what more can be done to stop their decline and better protect the sea and marine life. Such widespread environmental threats call for a simple but significant shift in reasoning to bring about long-overdue, elemental change in the way we use ocean resources. In Deborah's book, Future Sea, she provides the tools for that shift. Questioning the underlying philosophy of established ocean conservation approaches, Rowan Wright lays out a radical alternative — a bold and far-reaching strategy of 100 percent ocean protection that would put an end to destructive industrial activities, better safeguard marine biodiversity, and enable ocean wildlife to return and thrive along coasts and in seas around the globe. Future Sea is essentially concerned with the solutions and not the problems and it shines a light on existing international laws intended to keep marine environments safe that could underpin this new strategy. Deborah gathers inspiring stories of communities and countries using ocean resources wisely, as well as of successful conservation projects, to build up a cautiously optimistic picture of the future for our oceans. A passionate, sweeping, and personal account, Future Sea not only argues for systemic change in how we manage what we do in the sea but also describes steps that anyone, from children to political leaders (or indeed, any reader of the book), can take toward safeguarding the oceans and their extraordinary wildlife. In this episode host Michael Shields and Deborah Rowan Wright discuss the bevy of threats facing the ocean and the countless reasons why protecting the oceans is so crucial. They consider how the oceans aid in fighting Climate Change, how the Public Trust Doctrine might be employed to help protect our oceans, small solutions we can all do to safeguard our seas, the magnificent sea creatures who call the oceans home that need our protection, and much, much more.

The Fathom podcast has partnered with The National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO) to produce a series of informative and highly topical episodes, focusing on the challenges and opportunities facing UK fishermen in the post-Brexit landscape. In this second episode, NFFO CEO Barrie Deas and CFPO CEO Chris Ranford interview two Defra policy officials about a new piece of fishing legislation. In this episode, we tackle the draft Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS), which is open for consultation from UK fishermen until 12th April. Not sure what the Joint Fisheries Statement is, or why it matters? You're not alone! Following the UK's exit from the EU, fisheries management has undergone a number of big changes as we replace EU law with our own. In 2020, the UK Fisheries Act was passed in parliament. Then, in February this year, Scottish, Welsh, English and Irish fishing authorities drafted a Joint Fisheries Statement. This detailed document outlines exactly how the Fisheries Act will be delivered across these four authorities. Feedback on the draft document is now being sought from fishermen and other industry members as part of an open consultation. To help break down this complex document, we are joined by Anne Freeman and Robbie Fisher from Defra. Hosts Barrie Deas and Chris Ranford ask them all the important questions - how can fishermen provide feedback on the JFS? What does the document actually mean for fisheries management? Will grassroots fishing communities be properly represented? Will the JFS be more flexible and adaptable than the unpopular Common Fisheries Policy that it replaces? The Joint Fisheries Statement will affect all fishermen across the UK - so we encourage you to tune in, get clued up, then submit your thoughts to the consultation! LINKS CFPO digest on the Joint Fisheries StatementRead the draft Joint Fisheries Statement here Joint Fisheries Statement government consultation - send in your views here

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yjjxbgm5 Fishermen protest in Dublin Port. Iascairí i mbun agóide i gCalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath. A fleet of trawlers assembled in Dublin Port this morning as part of the country's fishermen's protest against cuts in fish quotas. Tháinig cabhlach trálaer le chéile i gCalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath leis an maidneachan mar chuid d'agóid iascairí na tíre in aghaidh ciorruithe ar chuótaí éisc. 55 trawlers from Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Wexford, Louth and Waterford took part in the protest. 55 trálaer as Baile Átha Cliath, Corcaigh, Dún na nGall, Gaillimh, Loch Garmain, Lú agus Port Láirge a bhí páirteach san agóid. After meeting at the mouth of the harbor, they sailed up the Life as far as Sir John Rogerson's Quay. Tar éis dóibh cruinniú ag béal an chalafoirt, sheol siad suas an Life chomh fada le Cé Sir John Rogerson. Fishermen are deeply dissatisfied with quota cuts, the European Union's Common Fisheries Policy and the impact of Britain's exit from the Union on the Irish fishing industry. Tá na hiascairí thar a bheith míshásata le ciorruithe ar chuótaí, le Comhbheartas Iascaigh an Aontais Eorpach agus leis an gcaoi a bhfuil imeacht na Breataine as an Aontas ag dul i gcion ar thionscal na hiascaireachta in Éirinn. The fishermen's campaign is supported by the six main fishing organizations in the country. Tá na sé phríomheagraíocht iascaireachta sa tír ag tacú le feachtas na n- iascairí. The economic value of the fishing industry in Ireland is € 1 billion a year by trawler fleet on Sir John Rogerson's Quay and employs approximately 16,000 people from local communities. Cabhlach trálaer ar Ché Sir John Rogerson €1 bhilliún sa bhliain an luach eacnamaíochta atá ar an tionscal iascaireachta in Éirinn agus tá thart ar 16,000 duine ó phobail áitiúla fostaithe ann. However, since Britain left the European Union, the value of the national quota has fallen by 15% and the Government has set up a special task force to tackle such challenges in the industry. Ó d'imigh an Bhreatain as an Aontas Eorpach, áfach, thit luach an chuóta náisiúnta 15 faoin gcéad agus bhunaigh an Rialtas tascfhórsa speisialta le dul le i ngleic le dúshláin den sórt seo sa tionscal. A report published by the task force last week recommended a compensation scheme for whitefish catchers that would allow them to stop fishing between September and December. I dtuarascáil a d'fhoilsigh an tascfhórsa an tseachtain seo caite, moladh go gcuirfí scéim chúitimh ar fáil do lucht iasc geal a ligfeadh dóibh éirí as an iascaireacht idir mí Mheán Fómhair agus mí na Nollag. However, the fishermen who arrived at Dublin Port this morning say they are not "looking for alms". Deir na hiascairí a tháinig go Calafort Bhaile Átha Cliath ar maidin, áfach, nach "ag lorg déirce" atá siad. They want more quotas, they say. Is breis cuótaí atá uathu, a deir siad. The fishermen will demonstrate in the Guild Street Park, near Sir John Rogerson 's Quay, at noon and will subsequently hand over a letter to Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the National Conference Center. Léirseoidh na hiascairí i bPáirc Shráid na nGildeanna, in aice le Cé Sir John Rogerson, ag meán lae agus tabharfaidh siad litir ar láimh don Taoiseach Micheál Martin san Ionad Náisiúnta Comhdhála ina dhiaidh sin.

How are the world's oceans governed? What are the legal and policy implications of large-scale ocean energy developments? How can we manage fish stocks more sustainably? These are the type of questions that are discussed in this special episode dedicated to the World's Ocean Day. We invited Klaudija Cremers and Glen Wright, who are research fellows at IDDRI and work on various aspects of international ocean governance and marine policy. Also, Glen and Klaudija explain the 'high seas', the EU's Common Fisheries Policy, marine spatial planning, and ocean energy futures.

Andrea Macdonald founder of ideaXme interviews Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius, European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries. The EU Commission: The Commission helps to shape the EU's overall strategy, proposes new EU laws and policies, monitors their implementation and manages the EU budget. It also plays a significant role in supporting international development and delivering aid. Following the result of the European elections, and the mandate received from the European Council and the European Parliament, the Dr Ursula von der Leyen Commission put forward a set of ambitious goals for Europe’s future: climate neutrality by 2050; making the 2020s Europe’s Digital Decade; and making Europe stronger in the world with a more geopolitical approach. Since Covid-19, the twin green and digital transitions are now even more firmly at the core of their programme, with new resources to accelerate the transformation. Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius: Commissioner Sinkevičius is the youngest EU Commissioner appointed to the EU Commission. He is a Lithuanian politician, an European Commissioner since 2019.

We end the year on our 30th (but, perhaps not final) episode, and it's a landmark moment that no doubt will go down in history: the UK Fisheries Bill has passed through parliament and received royal assent, becoming the UK Fisheries Act. The Act will provide the legislative framework for future fisheries management in the UK, replacing the Common Fisheries Policy as we depart from the EU. It’s 133 pages long, and not that easy to read... the good news is, we’ve read it all - so you don’t have to. In this unmissable episode, we talk to Fisheries Minister Victoria Prentis MP, and Defra Deputy Director Anne Freeman, to break down what the Act really means for the industry.You might be curious about why the phrase ‘framework Act’ is continually bashed about - we’ll explore what this means, along with how the key tagline of ‘taking back control of our waters’ will be achieved. We also ask our guests about the huge sticking point of sustainability, unearthing where the objective of sustainable fishing sits in the Act, as well as exploring the climate change, ecosystem and bycatch objectives. Tune in to learn about so much more: localised fisheries management plans, quotas, foreign vessel access. The changes embedded in the Act will be felt on water, so it really is one to get your head around.

In this first episode of the Ocean Governance Pod, we discuss two articles which both may be said to address the importance of language, the terminology that is used for communication and the way in which principles and objectives are defined and understood. The two articles in this episode are: Jonathan G. Odom, Navigating Between Treaties and Tweets: How to Ensure Discourse about Maritime Freedom Is Meaningful, 49:1 Ocean Development & International Law (2018) 1-51. Leyre Goti-Aralucea et al., Overarching sustainability objectives overcome incompatible directions in the Common Fisheries Policy, 91 Marine Policy (2018), 49–57. We hope that you will enjoy listening!

In this week's Chopper's Brexit Podcast we get reaction to the Telegraph's exclusive report that British and EU negotiators have reached a deal over the so-called Brexit bill, landing on a figure somewhere between €45bn and €55bn. Craig Mackinlay, a Conservative member of the Commons’ Brexit committee, tells our Chief Political Correspondent Christopher Hope: “I can just about stomach £20billion but beyond that I have some personal difficulties. “You can’t extend that into ‘hope to spend in 10 years time on an unknown road in Romania’ where the turf has not been turned yet. “These seem to be ‘hope to spend in the future’ costs. I don't think these are Britain's liabilities.” Chopper also sits down with 'Mr Brexit' Nigel Farage over a pint to discuss his view on the state of the Brexit negotiations.    Plus, we hear a warning from the Fishing For Leave campaign about the dangers of writing the Common Fisheries Policy into UK law as we rush to exit the EU. 

Luke & Steven discuss some potential impacts of the United Kingdom exit from the European Union, specifically with regard to managing environmental issues across the UK. There's no denying that the majority of current UK environmental law has come down from the European Union (EU).  The EU has introduced policies and laws dealing with all sorts of wide reaching issues, the UK Environmental Law Association gives the examples of industrial and agricultural pollution, waste, water quality, air quality, nature conservation, environmental damage and climate change.   Luke and Steven cover aspects such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Common Fisheries Policy, and the Paris Agreement. ---------- Join the discussion on the environmental professionals postulating facebook group.  All episodes coupled with (quite frankly utterly bizarre) computer generated transcripts, and the option to leave comments on each episode are available on the Environmental Professionals Postulating website www.epppodcast.com.  For anything else I can be contacted via email at steven@epppodcast.com .
