Fisheries management measures within Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): Draft fisheries assessments methodology report

This report outlines the approach taken to conduct the fisheries assessments. This includes what evidence was used and how that was collected and also provides definitions and methods used.


6. Monitoring and Review

Scottish Ministers will review finalised Fisheries Assessments as required. A review may be undertaken 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 a monitoring and control plan may be developed for the sites.
