Fish Dependence is the day on which imports have to be relied upon because national catches would have run out if only home-caught fish had been eaten since 1 January.

Finland relies on imports for over two months per year, to satisfy domestic demand for fish products.

Fish dependence is a powerful concept that illustrates how far over consumption outstrips domestic resources. One way to illustrate this trend is to represent a country’s degree of self-sufficiency as a calendar day – the day in the year when a country has consumed its own supply and must begin sourcing its products from elsewhere, hence the term ‘fish dependence day’. For the EU this date is currently 11th July, after which the EU depends on foreign resources. Fish dependence day is calculated by New Economics Foundation (NEF).

The Second HELCOM Workshop on Regional Action Plan for Marine Litter (MARINE LITTER 2/2014) will be held on 22-23 October 2014 in Stralsund, Germany, at the premises of the Ozeanuem/Meeresmuseum

Due to the space limitation, the Contracting Parties are kindly requested to invite up to four people, from national administrations, NGOs with expertise on marine litter, as well as stakeholders from e.g. the waste management and wastewater treatment sectors, the shipping and fishing industries and the fields of product design and education.

 

Agenda forthcoming.
