AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoFalklands Fisheries: The Fisheries Committee has agreed changes to vessel unit fishing licence allocations for 2027, ending a three-year freeze and moving back to annual adjustments tied to Total Allowable Catches; overall effort edges down slightly, while G licences rise mainly due to Illex squid TAC swings and W licences fall as most finfish TACs continue to trend lower. South Atlantic Research: SAERI has launched new Falklands and South Atlantic projects, including a first Southern Rockhopper Penguin census in over 15 years using drones and artificial intelligence, plus seabird tracking, feral goat monitoring, genetic health work on Cobb’s Wren, and seabed habitat mapping for proposed marine managed areas. Ocean Exploration: Underwater images from a Canadian-led expedition have produced the first look at the wreck of Ernest Shackleton’s ship Quest, found about 400 metres down off Labrador—where fishing lines are reported tangled around the stern. High-Seas Seafood & Rules: A “squid game” is unfolding beyond Netflix as warming seas push South Korea’s squid catch away from domestic waters, increasing reliance on distant high-seas fishing and raising questions about how regulations travel with the fish.
