This seems like a great idea on paper, but I honestly don't see how it would be feasible for the industry nor do I see any wide-spread support for it from the industry either.
Unless there can be some sort of huge innovation in terms of limiting by-catch and discards in addition to the public starting to be less queasy about eating fish that's less commonly seen as 'edible', I don't see this being realistic at all.
01 March, 2011 - EU Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki’s proposal to ban the practice of discarding fish at sea, which she unveiled at a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, is drawing a flurry of reaction from politicians, fishermen and industry players; some are applauding her proposal, while others are calling it draconian.
