Consultation

We work closely with our fishing industry and regularly engage on fisheries management and compliance issues and decisions, seeking feedback on our approach where it is appropriate to do so. Any substantive changes to fisheries policy within England would ordinarily be subject to formal consultation by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). All consultations are published here.
