This project will provide evidence to support the reduction of on-land waste under a discards ban, by making the best use of catches, and investigating how the disposal route can also provide incentives that result in fishermen changing their behaviour. The project will collate background information on the location and functioning of existing UK outlets and utilisation opportunities for discards, and their legal framework. It will identify any local, regional or national bulk use opportunities. It will quantify discards, including types and location of landings of discard species using existing data sources from Cefas and/or Defra. It will highlight any issues and future uncertainties, and the cost of landing discards. Once the existing infrastructure has been reviewed, the project will provide a feasibility assessment by assessing the suitability of each outlet in terms of locality to the catching sector, capacity to receive discards, associated revenues and costs, requirements for additional investment (e.g. storage facilities and processing) etc.
