North Sea fishing Band
Fishing fleets will this month be banned from fishing for sandeels in the North Sea, to save depleted sandeel stocks. But the decision by Brussels to close the sandeel fishery for the rest of 2005 could be too late for this year's seabirds, which suffered their worst breeding season on record in 2004.
Many seabirds feed on sandeels - a small fish - and sandeel declines, due largely to climate change, were blamed for last year's breeding disaster.
This year, seabirds are breeding late, reducing their chances of rearing chicks successfully, while some are not nesting at all.
