More Fish Campaign

Since the beginning of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform process in 2009, WWF has called for urgent and ambitious reform. Be it through advocacy, events, media relations or networking with industry and other campaign groups, WWF strongly defends the need to transform Europe’s fisheries management.
For the first time since the creation of the CFP in 1983, Members of the European Parliament (MEP) get to decide, together with Member States, which direction the CFP takes.

In an event at the European Parliament in April 2011, WWF presented the results of an independent poll carried out in 14 EU countries. The poll showed that a large majority of citizens want their fish to come from sustainable, non-overfished sources. They also support a reform of the CFP to ensure this.

WWF has therefore launched a More Fish petition urging MEPs to make ambitious CFP reform an absolute priority in their parliamentary work over the coming months.
