Local marine partnership receives funding to deliver innovative conservation projects in Studland Bay, Dorset
Press release
The Studland Bay Marine Partnership has been awarded £186,000 from the Marine Management Organisation’s Fisheries and Seafood Scheme to support the conservation of Studland Bay’s precious marine ecosystems.
MMO is now commencing the roll-out phase of inshore vessel monitoring system (I-VMS) devices to under six metre vessels. This phase continues the MMO’s support for all under 12 metre vessels to enable them to meet the requirements to have an I-VMS device once legislation comes into force early 2024.
Fishers with under-12m vessels are being urged to ACT NOW to ensure they don’t lose out on grant funding for an I-VMS device ahead of the legal requirements coming into force next Spring.
