  4. ICES work on bycatch • Expert Groups • WGBYC: Bycatch of Protected Species • JWGBIRD: SeaBird Ecology • WGMME: Marine mammal ecology • WGEF: Elasmobranch Fishes • WGCATCH: Commercial catches • Advice regarding the impact of fisheries on the ecosystem • Annual advice on Bycatch of protected and potentially vulnerable marine vertebrates • Fisheries overviews and ecosystem overviews

  5. 1. Working Group on Bycatch of Protected Species (WGBYC) Co-Chairs: Sara Königson, Kelly Macleod WGBYC collates and assesses information on bycatch monitoring and assessment for protected species, including mammals, birds, turtles, and rare fish. ICES issues a data call (from 2017) on from monitoring/sampling effort, fishing effort and bycatch incidents in protected species. Annual advice to EC on bycatch of protected species (PETS)

  7. Bycatch work at ICES- ways forward • ICES intends increasing the quantitative nature of ICES advice on bycatch in the near future and include these in the fisheries overviews. • Continue develop and improve the ICES data call on bycatch • Improve fishing effort data • Cooperation with other WG (WGCATCH)

  8. ICES Working Group on Marine Mammal Ecology (WGMME) Chair: Anders Galatius, Anita Gilles Report on seal and cetacean population abundance, population/stock structure, management frameworks (including indicators and targets for MSFD assessments), and anthropogenic threats to individual health and population status..... Focus on bycatch ​​​

  9. Joint OSPAR/HELCOM/ICES Working Group on Seabirds Report 2018: Progress on assessing bycatch mortality of marine birds in the NE Atlantic and Baltic as part of the preparation for the joint OSPAR-HELCOM workshop for incidental bycatch Seabird bycatch is currently a candidate indicator under OSPAR and a core indicator under HELCOM, but these indicators are not yet operational, largely due to lack of comprehensive data on seabird bycatch in both the NE Atlantic and Baltic Sea.
