  • Environmental issues inthe Azores

  • • Impact on VME• Deep water sharks by-catch in deeper sets

    • No cetaceans by catch was reported

    Environmental issues : bycatch of sensitive species

  • • Large unreported catch of pelagic sharks• Reported catch of blue sharks is 73t while

    about 1,600t is unreported or not linked tothe Azores fishing area

    • Turtles mortality around 19t per year
