Pelagic Advisory Council Pelagic AC

About Pelagic Advisory Council Pelagic AC

The Pelagic Advisory Council prepares and provides advice to the European Commission and relevant Member States on the management of pelagic fish stocks on behalf of the fisheries sector, environmental NGOs, animal welfare NGOs and other stakeholders. It covers the pelagic stocks of the Northeast Atlantic, the North Sea and the Celtic Sea and west of Scotland.

The Pelagic AC (as a foundation under Dutch law) was inaugurated on 16 August 2005, and consists of a General Assembly, an Executive Committee and three Working Groups. The work is furthermore done in collaboration with observers, for example, from non-EU countries that have an interest in particular stocks or regions covered by the Pelagic AC.
