Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: fisheries assessment – Darwin Mounds SAC
These assessments look at the fishing activity occurring within each offshore MPA and SAC and assess the potential impacts of this activity on the protected features within each site. This assessment is for Darwin Mounds SAC. These assessments have been updated following public consultation.
5. Conclusion
Scottish Ministers have had regard to best available evidence and conclude that, provided that appropriate management measures for fishing activities identified above are implemented, any remaining fishing activities within the Darwin Mounds SAC are compatible with site conservation objectives and have no adverse impact on site integrity of the SAC.
