In addition to the intended catch, hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals die every year as bycatch, known as "discard" by the fishing industry. Millions of creatures are then tossed back into the sea, wounded or dead. Don't like it? Stop eating fish. #ChooseCompassion 🐟

Shark Diversity, Bycatch, and Conservation Importance in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea
Sharks are among the most threatened marine vertebrates in the Mediterranean Sea, where sustained fishing pressure has raised increasing conservation concerns. This study assessed shark bycatch…

Googly-eyed buoys and kites help keep seabirds out of fishing nets, study finds
Off the coast of Cornwall in southwest England, a pole rises from a buoy with a pair of big eyes on top. The head spins, creating what researchers call an “animated eye effect.” Its job is to scare…

FUN has loads of bycatch throughout the year. NIG can be good for some Phyllonorycters in the spring. I find VIT is better for bycatch than vitrealis!

Made a spreadsheet for the anthology project and was like huh wow this is nice.... what if I made one for the bycatch expansion. When does it end. do I just like spreadsheets now ?

This week I resumed my Devon Starling project and was rewarded with a bumper catch of adults and juvs, plus a Woodpigeon as bycatch - not a bad haul!

Seabird declines are being driven by avian flu, overfishing, climate change warming the seas and killing their fish food, and bycatch, that's not a reason to stop WTE reintroduction.
Really interesting debate over white-tailed eagles being reintroduced in South Wales. I honestly haven't formed an opinion on this yet but will be looking into the science some more. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The ALS site has a good list that includes all the bycatch recorded for each lure, wottth a look. I went for a variety in particular those with a good bycatch.

The failure of anindustry on display👺Showing the dumping of a bycatch that is barely alive does not make fishing sustainable. The damage is so huge it will only revive if we stop forever. Killing animals is wrong. #Fishing = #Ecocide => #MassExtinction Humans must live #vegan to sustain life✌️
