  • The Interview with Dimitar Popov
    „Many politicians in Bulgaria still act upon the maxim: The more concrete tourist blocks, the better!“ Interview with Dimitar Popov of Green Balkans about the difficult nature conservation work in Bulgaria. Dimitar Popov has studied economics in Plovdiv. Since 7 years, he works for Green Balkans, one of the largest nature conservation organisations on the Balkans with over 4.000 members. Within the scope of the project “NatuRegio – trai- nees for nature”, which is co-financed by EuroNatur, this year he has spent several weeks in two different German nature conservation institutions: in spring, in the stork village of Rühstädt in the biosphere reservation embedded in the fluvial landscape of the river Elbe in Brandenburg, and in summer, five weeks in the main office of EuroNatur in Radolfzell. There, they talked about his work, the situation of nature conservation in Bulgaria and his experience in Germany.

As Atlantic bonito is a primary target of the fishery, it is evident that Council Regulation (EC) 1239/98 banning Received: November 24, 2014 | Published: April 06, 2015 the use of driftnets to target Annex VIII species has not been effective. In addition, about 250 fishing vessels (from the total of 650 vessels) operated in the Danube River in 2012 targeting Pontic shad (Alosa immaculata) using a local driftnet called “Difana”. Most of them are small (5-6 m LOA) open boats powered by the outboard motors (10-20hp). Overall, about 30% of the shad is caught with driftnets and 70% with set gillnets (GNS).
