Wild Fisheries Reform Stakeholder Reference Group
Overview
The Scottish Government is committed to reforming the current wild fisheries management system with the aim of:
- creating a modern management system for wild fisheries fit for purpose in the 21st century and capable of responding to our changing environment
- managing, conserving and developing our wild fisheries to maximise the sustainable benefit of Scotland’s wild fish resources to the country as a whole and particularly to rural areas
- promoting evidence-based management of fisheries
The first stage of this process was the Wild Fisheries Review which reported in October 2014. The next stage is to develop the recommendations arising from the review into the detail of a new system.
A Stakeholder Reference Group will inform detailed proposals for legislation arising from the forthcoming consultation on the broad policy principles on the reform of the management system.
