A decree has been issued in France to reduce the shellfish gathering quota per person in area 80.03, Baie de Somme-Nord, to 64 kilograms per day until the end of the year. This decision was made due to concerns raised by various stakeholders, including the interregional director of the Channel-East-North Sea sea, the Gemel study group, and the regional fisheries committee of Hauts-de-France. The reduction of quotas by 30 kilograms per day is expected to result in a financial impact of 1,000 euros per month for fishermen, who also noted that shellfish from other regions are being sold at a higher price. The reduction is attributed to the need to prevent overexploitation and ensure that cockles are not caught below the minimum size.
