• Discards

  Discarding occurs when boats decide to dispose of fish which they catch but cannot land or derive income from, or when they have caught more fish than they are allowed to land, or they discard the less valuable fish in order to make more space for more valuable fish.
  
  A million tonnes of fish and other sea creatures caught in the North Sea are discarded every year according to the WWF.

• Report to the SFPA

  You can use this web page to report any kind of fisheries related activity you think might be suspicious to the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency.

  If you are out and about or would rather speak to someone about any suspicious activity simply call 0845 270 3990 which is continually manned.

  The report can be anonymous if you wish but if you give contact details it will help if any clarification is required.
