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.


5. Conclusion

Scottish Ministers have had regard to best available evidence and conclude that no further fisheries management measures are required as current fisheries restrictions within the site restrict activity to a level that would not hinder conservation objectives of this Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area.
