What they argued
Blue Marine welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the call for evidence for an EU strategy on fisheries external action. In our reply (attached), we raise two important topics for consideration and improvement: (1) the discrimination of West Africa crew working on board European fishing vessels; and (2) the continued mismanagement of drifting fish aggregating devices.
