| PelAC letter on Coordination and Harmonisation of Horse Mackerel Stocks Assessements | The PelAC expressed their concerns and requested a full coordination of work on all horse mackerel stocks following the recent benmark assessment. The PelAC calls for the European Commission and ICES to coordinate efforts to harmonise the assessment and management of all horse mackerel stocks. Addressing the highlighted data deficiencies, improving survey efforts, and integrating ecosystem considerations are crucial steps toward sustainable fisheries management. | 2024 | Letter to Com and ICES Response from ICES Response from COM |
