Proposed North Sea and West of Scotland Saithe Fisheries Management Plan
The North Sea and West of Scotland saithe FMP is one of 43 UK FMPs set out in the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS). It sets out the policies and actions to manage the relevant stock at sustainable levels continuing to provide positive socio-economic benefits to the UK.
Vision
The vision for this FMP is that the saithe fishery in UK waters of the North Sea and West of Scotland is managed sustainably, to help ensure that stocks are maintained above levels capable of producing MSY.
The policies and actions set 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 2020 Act, and the policies contained within the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS) and other legislative commitments.
