Spain is not the only one with a bycatch problem: the European Commission currently has infringement procedures open against several EU countries for failing to tackle bycatch of species like puffins, dolphins, and whales.

Cold, clear and frosty but have a least one moth with this Feathered Thorn. Absolutely love how it is sat on a frosty trap! Also this bycatch by the trap is stunning. Obsid says Ophion obscuratus #teammoth

What I like about birding / bird photography is that so often you get surprises that you weren't counting on. The Osprey I saw at Wagbachniedrung, where I went only to see Purple herons. The Eider male I ran into when I was trying to catch some Great crested grebe mating rituals. Cool bycatch :).

📰 Why are we so squeamish about eating hagfish?
Although it is illegal to discard bycatch back into the sea, it still happens.

It’s scattershot, & disrespectful.
When this concludes, there’ll be a layoff. Maybe not immediately. But the man will come back around again.
Some who take it would’ve been cut anyway. Some not.
Those among this soft layoff bycatch left inside the firm need to remember they’re on a list already.

Thank you Mary! That Sullivan bill, page 5, item (4) states bycatch would be confidential. That isn't transparency.

The elusive, critically endangered Mobula tarapacana surface in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate oceans worldwide. They can reach a disc width of up to 3.7 m. Their biggest threat is being bycatch in gill net and trawlfisheries.
