Fisheries management plans rely on a foundation of robust evidence. In this post we explore this along with our published evidence statements and their role in sustainable fisheries.
MMO’s Regional Fisheries Group team dive into the FMP consultations to answer your questions on the cockle FMP, Southern North Sea demersal non-quota FMP, skates and rays FMP and the sprat FMP.
Our consultation events have ended but you can still have your say on the draft plans until 19 January- don’t miss your chance to share your opinions. Find our factsheets and a summary video on this blog post.
Book your place on one of our online consultation events- If you can’t make one of our in-person events, this is your chance to give your feedback of the five FMPs being consulted on.
Factsheets and an overview video are now available for these five FMPs - find them on this blog post!
Today we’ve launched consultations on Defra’s next five draft fisheries management plans, a consultation on amendments to the joint fisheries statement and published the flatfish FMP.
