Details

Following the introduction of the Fisheries Act 2020, the baselines from which the UK’s 0-12 nautical mile fisheries limits are measured are updated from those defined from the 1983 baselines under the Common Fisheries Policy to those determined by the Territorial Sea (Baselines) Order 2014 in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This will align the UK’s 0-12 nautical mile fisheries limits with the seaward limit of the territorial sea as defined by the 2014 Order.

This guidance document contains the latest information regarding the UK’s Fishery Limits following the introduction of the Fisheries Act 2020.
