Outcome report of Marine Scotland's Consultation on the Proposed Introduction of new Statutory Scallop Fishing Management Measures – Outcome Report with analysis of responses and next steps


Next Steps

To ensure current management measures used in the scallop fishery are suitable and that its environmental impact is properly understood, Marine Scotland will commission a review of technical, economic and environmental aspects of the fishery with a view to making recommendations about governance.

The review will be based on a specification prepared by Marine Scotland and will be advertised at the end of January 2013. The review will begin in April 2013 and will be concluded by autumn 2013.
