The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is developing alternative ways of managing fishing quota in England and crown dependencies, supporting the sustainability of fishing stocks and the wider interests of fishers.
This includes looking into the use of community quota schemes and an application-based system of allocation. In 2024, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Defra launched a trial using a quota application mechanism (QAM).
This assessment reports on the performance of 2 quota recipients under the QAM pilot 2024. It focuses on the environmental, social, and economic effects of their operations.
