Draft Fisheries Assessment – Hatton-Rockall Basin NCMPA: 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-Rockall Basin NCMPA.


4. Monitoring and review

Scottish Ministers will review this assessment as required. A review of this assessment may be required in response to updated conservation advice; updated advice on the condition of the feature; new information on the sensitivity of the feature to pressures arising from activities within the site; or information on changes in fishing activity within the site.

To coordinate the collection and analysis of information regarding activity levels, and to ensure that any required management is put in place, a monitoring and control plan may be developed for this site.
