Hi friend,
There's a treasure trove of documents revealing the reckless extraction at the heart of Europe's industrial fishing status quo. Interested in diving in?

| | | Read the report | | Here's the TLDR:
1. One megatrawler alone can catch 400,000 kg of fish per day. European seas cannot sustain this while fish stocks continue to collapse. The industry's response — more and bigger vessels — is the opposite of what the science demands.
|  | 2. More than a quarter of all European trawling takes place inside marine protected areas. With zones designed for conservation being fished at industrial intensity, the word "protected" rings hollow.
| |  | | 3. Twelve vessels. At least six national flags. Dozens of subsidiaries. Behind all of it: two Dutch families and their networks. This confusion is a design choice, not an accident.
| |  | | 4. On the rare occasions when violations are caught and fined, the penalties consistently fall below the value of the illegal catch. In the current system, crime pays.
