Draft Fisheries Assessment – Hatton Bank 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 Hatton Bank SAC.
5. Conclusion
Scottish Ministers have had regard to best available evidence and conclude that, as a result of current fisheries restrictions within the site, any remaining fishing activities are considered compatible with the conservation objectives of this Special Area of Conservation.
