Our goals
The welfare of wild-caught fishes has been overlooked in practice, research, advocacy, and policy. The Carefish/catch project aims to promote better fishing standards, by addressing 5 main goals:
- assess global animal welfare impacts in fisheries
- identify the potential of reducing animal suffering in various fishing methods and species
- analyse the economic and social feasibility of the improvements suggested
- raise problem and solution awareness in general and specific audiences
- implement welfare guidelines into the Friend of the Sea fisheries certification scheme
