Animal Welfare Foundation e.V. welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Call for Evidence on the European Ocean Act. We wish to draw attention to a major and largely unaddressed source of marine pollution and safety risk: livestock vessels operating from and through European waters, including MARPOL Special Areas such as the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

What they argued
Livestock carriers: an overlooked source of marine pollution Animal Welfare Foundation and Tierschutzbund Zürich urge the European Commission to include pollution from livestock carriers as a priority in the European Ocean Research and Innovation Strategy. This poorly monitored sector combines ship pollution with large quantities of animal-derived waste.
