Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: fisheries assessment – North-East Faroe-Shetland Channel 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 North-East Faroe-Shetland Channel NCMPA and has been updated following public consultation.
