Proposed Northern Shelf Cod Fisheries Management Plan
The Northern Shelf cod FMP is one of the 43 UK FMPs set out in the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS). This FMP sets out the policies and actions to manage the fish stock at sustainable levels continuing to provide positive socio-economic benefits to the UK.
Vision
The vision for this FMP is that the Northern Shelf cod fishery in UK waters is managed sustainably, to help ensure that stocks are maintained above biomass levels capable of producing MSY.
The policy 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, the policies contained within the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS) and other legislative commitments.
