(34) Fisheries management based on the best available scientific advice requires harmonised, reliable and accurate data sets. Therefore Member sStates should collect data on fleets and their fishing activities, in particular biological data on catches, including discards, and survey information on fish stocks and on the potential environmental impact of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem, and should make them available to end-users and the public at large.
