A report published by the Our Fish campaign and Low Impact Fishers of Europe (LIFE) has urged the EU to implement Article 17 of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) to allow for a more sustainable fishing industry.

The report, How the EU can Transition to Low Environmental Impact, Low Carbon, Socially Just Fishing, outlines how Article 17 can play a crucial role in ending overfishing in EU waters and address the issues of biodiversity and climate change.
