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.
