• 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.
