Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: fisheries assessment – East Rockall Bank 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 East Rockall Bank SAC. These assessments have been updated following public consultation.
