Das „Europäische Meeresgesetz “ (European Ocean Act) bietet eine einmalige Gelegenheit, den gemeinsamen operativen Rahmen zu schaffen, der Europa derzeit fehlt: transparente Information und Entscheidungsfindung, vorhersehbare Regeln, koordinierte Planung und messbare Rechenschaftspflicht – über die verschiedenen maritimen Sektoren hinweg und grenzüberschreitend. Dieses Positionspapier legt zwei strategische Erfordernisse für dieses Ozeangesetz dar.

Sous l'archipel de Chausey s'étend un fond marin rose qui a mis des siècles à se former. Quelques passages de chalut peuvent l'écraser en quelques minutes, et cela continue au sein même d'une aire protégée.
Au large des côtes normandes, dans la baie du Mont-Saint-Michel, les îles Chausey abritent l'un des habitats les plus rares de la Manche : les bancs de maërl, une algue coralligène à croissance lente surnommée le « trésor rose ». Un nouveau film d'EJF révèle ce qui se joue sous la surface, et pourquoi le statut d'aire marine protégée de Chausey ne se traduit toujours pas par une protection réelle. Classé au titre de Natura 2000 et de la convention OSPAR, le site devrait être à l'abri des pratiques de pêche les plus destructrices. Dans les faits, ses bancs de maërl continuent d'être raclés par les engins traînants de fond.
« Changer de cap » réunit des images des fonds marins et les témoignages des pêcheurs et des habitants dont l'avenir y est lié. Les bancs de maërl servent de nurserie à de nombreuses espèces commerciales telles que les coquilles Saint-Jacques, les homards, les soles et les praires, et contribuent au stockage du carbone, pourtant, ce qui disparaît aujourd'hui ne pourra être reconstitué avant plusieurs générations. Alors que l'analyse des risques pêche pour Chausey est en cours, le film pose une question simple : les décisions prises maintenant protégeront-elles cet habitat, et la pêche locale qui en dépend, ou les laisseront-elles disparaître ?

Beneath the Chausey archipelago lies a pink seabed that took centuries to grow. A few passes of a trawl can crushed it in minutes, and it is still happening inside a protected area.
Off the Normandy coast, in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, the Chausey islands shelter one of the English Channel's rarest habitats: beds of maerl, a slow-growing coralline algae known as the 'pink treasure'. A new EJF film reveals what is at stake beneath the surface, and why Chausey's status as a marine protected area has yet to translate into real protection. Classified under Natura 2000 and the OSPAR Convention, the site should be safe from the most damaging fishing. In practice, its maerl beds continue to be scraped away by bottom-towed gear.
'Changer de cap' (Change course) brings together footage of the living seabed and the voices of the fishers and local people whose futures are tied to it. Maerl beds are nurseries for commercially important species including scallops, lobsters, sole and clams, and help store carbon, yet what is lost today cannot be rebuilt within a generation. As a fisheries risk assessment for Chausey gets under way, the film asks a simple question: will the decisions taken now protect this habitat, and the local fishing it sustains, or let both slip away?

Sep 22, 2026Making the Landing Obligation Work: Tackling Europe’s Bycatch Crisis Through Fisheries TransparencyReadThe EU’s Landing Obligation (LO) is intended to reduce waste, encourage selective fishing and improve the catch information used to manage populations. For catches within the LO scope, fishers must retain, record and land catches, including bycatch, and count them against quota where applicable, subject to defined exemptions. More than a decade after the obligation was phased in, and seven years after it became fully applicable, these objectives have not been achieved.
This briefing from EJF and Oceana provides a roadmap for ensuring the EU Landing Obligation’s full implementation.

Jul 16, 2026Cut & Run: Exposing Senegal as a gateway for the global shark fin tradeReadThis report reveals extensive shark finning on board Chinese and Taiwanese-owned tuna vessels that call at Dakar, Senegal's main fishing port. Drawing on first-hand testimony from fishers who witnessed this cruel and often illegal practice, the report exposes how fins were routinely landed in Dakar, with enforcement at the port easily evaded or non-existent. It also reveals the high risk of tuna linked to shark finning entering global supply chains. Without urgent action from Senegal and international regulators to close these loopholes, the trade of shark fins will continue unchecked.

Jul 16, 2026Cut & Run: Exposing Senegal as a gateway for the global shark fin tradeReadCut & Run: Exposing Senegal as a gateway for the global shark fin trade
Tuna boats dock in Dakar by day. By night, illegal shark fins are smuggled ashore - and the world's seafood supply is funding it.
Senegal's port of Dakar is one of West Africa's busiest fishing hubs - and, a new EJF investigation reveals, a key gateway for the illegal global shark fin trade. Distant-water tuna longliners, many flagged to China and Taiwan, land their legal catch in daylight. But under cover of night, illegal shark fins are trafficked ashore, hidden among other cargo and, according to crew testimony, moved past inspectors with bribes.
'Cut & Run' draws on testimony from 87 Indonesian and Filipino crew members who spoke to EJF anonymously about the scale of the operation: sharks caught and finned on captain's orders, their bodies dumped at sea, their fins bound for lucrative markets in Asia. Dakar is a designated port under the Port State Measures Agreement, obligating Senegal to screen vessels and block illegal catch - obligations this investigation shows are being routinely evaded.

Jul 16, 2026Couper et disparaître: le Sénégal, plaque tournante du commerce mondial des ailerons de requinReadCe rapport met au jour l’ampleur de l’aileronnage des requins à bord de thoniers chinois et taïwanais faisant escale à Dakar, principal port de pêche du Sénégal.
S’appuyant sur les témoignages de pêcheurs ayant observé ces pratiques, il révèle que des ailerons de requins étaient régulièrement débarqués à Dakar, où les contrôles portuaires faisaient défaut. Le rapport met également en évidence le risque que du thon issu de navires pratiquant l’aileronnage des requins alimente les chaînes d’approvisionnement mondiales.
Le commerce des ailerons de requins reste possible en raison de ces failles de contrôle, qui doivent être comblées de toute urgence.

Jun 04, 2026Out of Sight, Out of Control: The global boom in destructive squid fishingReadOut of Sight, Out of Control: The global boom in destructive squid fishing
EJF’s latest investigation into unregulated squid fishing on the high seas has uncovered illegal fishing and human rights abuses on a shocking scale.
Every year, hundreds of industrial fishing vessels disappear into some of the most remote and unregulated waters on earth, where they fish for squid beyond the reach of any law, any observer, and any accountability.
Over the last 5 years, EJF investigators have gathered testimony and footage from over 400 crew members who have worked on board distant water squid vessels. What they have documented is a system built on environmental destruction and forced labour. Rampant overfishing, the killing of protected species, and widespread human rights violations are endemic across the global squid industry.
