Stakeholders were asked to consider the potential impact of the options presented in the consultation, with reference to their answers contributing to our impact assessments.
To raise awareness of the content of the consultation a number of engagement sessions were held virtually between sectoral groups, fishing representative bodies, non-sector fishing interests and environmental NGOs. 91 responses were received including island-connected businesses, community groups and local authority groups.
