We’re working in partnership with Defra, the MMO, NFFO, and UKAFPO on trialling new ways of working together.
Rather than having lots of meetings spread over a few weeks, there is going to be one event over three days.
It is taking place in St Ives and is an opportunity to contribute to the development of solutions to current and future challenges.
Due to limited places, you will need to register your interest in attending.
Applications will be reviewed to ensure the pilot has representation from a range of ports, fishing areas, fisheries, and gear types.
Agenda
*Wednesday 16 October*
• The implementation of published Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) - such as crab and lobster, and bass.
*Thursday 17 October*
• The development of draft FMPs such as skates and rays and the Celtic Sea mixed demersal which includes pollack and sole.
• The annual negotiations process and links with future fisheries management and opportunities.
• Opportunities for Future Funding
*Friday 18 October*
• Discussion on challenges and solutions for creating a more balanced approach to marine planning for future food security, energy security and marine environment recovery.
To register, head over to the CFPO here and they’ll send you a link to the form so you can register your interest for the event. You must do this by today, Friday 27th!
