Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: final business regulatory impact assessment
This assessment has been undertaken to estimate the costs, benefits and risks of proposed management measures for Offshore Marine Protected Areas that may impact the public, private or third sector. It has been updated following public consultation.
Declaration
I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and I am satisfied that it represents a fair and reasonable view of the expected costs, benefits and impact of the policy, and that these have been taken into account when making the policy decision. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.
I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
