Fisheries Seabird Interaction

BirdWatch Ireland - Interaction Assessment Between Seabirds And Fisheries

This survey attempts to understand some aspects about your work, the fishing activity in Ireland
and the possible interaction with seabirds, dolphins, whales and other animals with fisheries.

Please fill out this form according to your current fishing activity. If you conduct a different type of fishing or target different species at other times of the year, we would appreciate if you filled out a second form for those activities as well.

All the information will be processed confidentially. Thank you very much for taking part!
