Offshore Marine Protected Areas - fisheries management measures: SG response
Our official response to the 2024 public consultation on proposed fisheries management measures in Offshore Marine Protected Areas.

The Scottish Government has considered the best available scientific advice and evidence, alongside other relevant factors, including the wider environmental and socio-economic impacts of the measures. This approach reflects the need to manage risks to achieving conservation objectives for MPAs, and ensures that decision making remains reasonable, proportionate and non-discriminatory.
