North Sea Horse Mackerel Fisheries Management Plan
The North Sea horse mackerel Fisheries Management Plan (FMP) is one of 43 FMPs set out in the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS).This FMP sets out the policies and actions to manage the horse mackerel stocks at sustainable levels.
Vision
The vision for this FMP is that the Western and SCNS and Eastern Channel horse mackerel fisheries in UK waters are managed sustainably, to help ensure that stocks are maintained above biomass levels capable of producing Maximum Sustainable Yield [2](MSY).
The policies and actions laid out in this FMP set out how this will be delivered in a way that is consistent with, and supportive of, the wider achievement of the fisheries objectives set out in the Fisheries Act 2020, the policies contained within the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS) and other legislative commitments.
