We advocate for fair regulations that not only secure fishing activities but also ensure the sustainability and long-term viability of our fisheries. By engaging with policymakers, we strive to create a balanced approach that supports both the industry and environmental conservation.

Bottom-fishing plays a crucial role in sustaining local economies, generating thousands of jobs in fishing communities across Europe. EBFA works to enhance the socio-economic stability of these areas, promoting initiatives that strengthen local businesses and encourage responsible fishing practices.

Fishing is an integral part of Europe’s cultural heritage. We are dedicated to preserving traditional fishing practices while also embracing innovation to meet contemporary challenges. Our aim is to honour the past while ensuring that fishing communities thrive in the future.
