About Sustainable Eel Group
SEG was formed to take practical action to support the recovery of the European Eel by bringing together people and leaders who really care about the eel from all backgrounds Science, Conservation and the Commercial worlds.
Eel Conservation
The eels return to abundance is our goal and most of SEG’s resources are targeted at the immediate conservation issues such as unblocking migratory pathways, screening turbines and pumps, creating habitat and of course restocking the rivers and wetlands of Europe where the glass eels are unable to reach.
The Sustainable Eel Standard
SEG believes that eel fishing and the industry must immediately adopt sustainable practices – accordingly SEG Conservationists and Scientists have created the SEG Standard and are only prepared to support those parts of the fishery and industry that are independently assessed as meeting the standard.
