Consultation description
We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the proposed Southern North Sea and Channel skates and rays fisheries management plan (FMP) for English waters.
Defra developed the proposed FMP in partnership with the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), with stakeholder engagement.
This FMP sets out plans for the long-term sustainable management of Southern North Sea and Channel skates and rays stocks in English waters.
We are also seeking views on an environmental report, which describes the likely environmental impacts of the FMP.
