After recent consultation events, four Q&A videos have been produced to support the draft fisheries management plans under review: Cockle, Southern North Sea Demersal Non-quota, Southern North Sea and Channel Skates and Rays, and North Sea and Channel Sprat.
The Regional Fisheries Group team has gathered common question areas and shared the answers to help provide clarity on key elements of the plans. The videos feature answers from Defra policy leads, with input from Cefas, AIFCA, and the Marine Management Organisation.
