Consultation description
We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the Southern North Sea and Eastern Channel mixed flatfish fisheries management plan (FMP) for English waters.
Defra developed the proposed FMP by engaging with stakeholders who have an interest in the fishery. The FMP sets out plans for the long-term sustainable management of the flatfish fishery in English waters.
We are also seeking views on an environmental report, which describes the likely environmental impacts of the FMP.
