Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: fisheries assessment – Faroe-Shetland Sponge Belt NCMPA

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 Faroe-Shetland Sponge Belt NCMPA and has been updated following public consultation.
