Fisheries Management Plans (Marine Management Organisation)
The Fisheries Act 2020 provides the framework to manage our fisheries as an independent coastal state. The act enables the UK Fisheries Policy Authorities (Defra, and the devolved administrations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) to publish fisheries management plans (FMPs) to help deliver our ambition for sustainable fisheries.
FMPs are a cornerstone of the Government’s approach to fisheries management now the UK has left the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy.
The Marine Management Organisation has been commissioned by Defra to lead on developing and drafting three of the FMPs laid out in the Joint Fisheries Statement.
