Draft Fisheries Assessment – Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain 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 Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain NCMPA.
