Channel non-quota species FMP engagement update

Marine Management Organisation has finalised dates, times and places for its second round of conversations with south coast fishers about the Channel demersal non-quota species Fisheries Management Plan.

The sessions, both face to face and online in February and March, will offer an opportunity for discussion of the draft vision and goals for the plan along with any other FMP matters fishers want to talk about.

Fishers are urged to check out our calendar and come along to give their views:

This is the second series of meetings to be held with fishers on the south coast as part of development of the FMP.

In the meantime, a working group with industry representatives and an evidence advisory group have been set up and are working on developing the plan, ahead of a formal consultation later this year. Details on the Channel FMP and working group meetings can be found on our website.

If fishers have any questions or points to make ahead of the meetings or wish to be included in MMO’s dedicated stakeholder updates, please email at FMP@marinemanagement.org.uk
