Biography
Mogens Schou is partner of AquaMind, advising on fisheries management. In his former capacity of the ministers adviser he designed the political, legal and operational basis for large scale REM trials in EU and Danish regulations 2008-2016. The principle of full catch accountability is now a cornerstone of the reformed CFP (Common Fisheries Policy), and results based management (managing catches not methods) is evolving from that. His main interest is to develop REM based on the needs of management and to re-define management and biological advice to take account of the new opportunities offered by fully documented fisheries and real-time, high resolution data from commercial fishing.
