Draft Fisheries Assessment – Darwin Mounds SAC: Fisheries management measures within Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)

These assessments look at the fishing activity occurring within each offshore MPA and SAC and assess the potential impacts of this activity on the protected features within each site. This assessment is for Darwin Mounds SAC.


5. Conclusion

Scottish Ministers have had regard to best available evidence and conclude that, as a result of current measures, there is no fishing activity occurring within the site that is considered incompatible with the conservation objectives of this Special Area of Conservation or which may have an adverse impact on site integrity.
