Local and sustainable fishing

We want to promote local, responsible and sustainable fishing by working as soon as possible with short-circuit fishermen (mainly at the Saint Jean de Luz auction). Committed to responsible fishing, our partner fishermen respect the regulations (including that of ICCAT, which brings together fishing professionals and environmental protection NGOs) as well as the strict European standards in this area , responsible for enforcing:

- quotas ensuring the sustainability of stocks.

- minimum size rules, species by species.

- licenses that authorize a vessel to fish the species.

- responsible fishing techniques: purse seine fishing in the Bay of Biscay. A very old fishing technique which consists of catching fish on the surface, it allows them to be released if their characteristics are not suitable.

- systematic control for all fish landings in France.
