About Us
The Fisheries Act 2020 requires the UK fisheries policy authorities (Defra, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland) to publish fisheries management plans (FMPs) to help deliver our ambition for sustainable fisheries.
Defra is responsible for preparing and publishing plans covering English waters. Some are being developed jointly with the devolved administrations.
