Sandeel fishing consultation: draft partial business and regulatory impact assessment
The draft partial business and regulatory impact assessment for the consultation on proposals to close fishing for sandeel in all Scottish waters.
Implementation and Delivery Plan
It is anticipated that a public consultation on the extension of the existing closure in sandeel to all Scottish waters will be published in July 2023, and run for the standard 12 week period. Based on this indicative timeline, we anticipate that the extension of the closed area will, if adopted, be introduced in the first quarter of 2024.
Any measure would be introduced through the implementation of a licence condition applicable to all vessels fishing within UK waters.
