France predominantly allocates fishing opportunities to its fleet based on past catch history, largely disregarding social & environmental criteria.

This is something also seen in Ireland with small scale vessels not recieving a fair share @iimro.bsky.social

Ok people, I am looking to crowdsource some social media platform knowledge.

Who, in Ireland or other EU country has seen an age verification demand, and on what platform.
It was great to meet Laura Fayet fisherwoman from Lake Geneva in Switzerland # who called to #Arranmore to see #Muireann and #Neily today to hear about their advocacy work and tell us about very similar issues around fishing in their country

As cod & ling, that used to populate British waters, migrate north to cooler waters, a large - and normally rare - type of octopus is being caught by fishermen in Devon and Cornwall in enormous numbers. Even tuna & shark.
So what's going on?

Model yacht racing has a long tradition on #Rathlin Island and today we had a super competitive windy race on Ushet Lough as part of the Rathlin Sound Festival. It involves a lot of running, getting wet and a bit of skill too. And here’s the winning boat! Racing with 10yr old Oscar today 😊🏆⛵️#RSF25
