Indicator 2.4.17
by Contact on 8 October 2026
Requirement
The UoC shall communicate each escape incident to the local fishery trust(s).
How Do I Interpret This Requirement?
-
This indicator requires the UoC to notify local fishery trusts whenever an escape incident occurs to ensure transparency, facilitate environmental monitoring and support mitigation efforts.
-
For each escape incident, the UoC must report key details such as:
-
Date and time of the escape.
-
Estimated number of escaped fish.
-
Species involved.
-
The UoC should identify the relevant local fishery trust(s) and establish clear communication channels. Fishery trusts are typically regional organisations responsible for managing wild fish populations and aquatic ecosystems. They may include government agencies, conservation groups or local fisheries management bodies.
-
Evidence of Implementation
-
In case of escapes, the UoC shall maintain records of communications with fishery trusts (emails, reports or acknowledgments).
Auditors Should Confirm
-
Verify that, in case of escapes, the UoC has communicated each escape incident to the fishery trusts.
