Verkkokalastus kiellettävä saimaannorpan levinneisyysalueella

This committee report proposes a ban on net fishing within the habitats of the Saima ringed seal. The measure aims to protect this critically endangered species from accidental entanglement in fishing nets, which is a primary threat to their survival and local biodiversity. The ban would primarily affect fishers operating in the specific water areas where the Saima ringed seal is found, restricting the use of gillnets to ensure the species' recovery.
