Partial Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment (North West Waters) - Fisheries Management Measures within Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
This assessment is undertaken to estimate the costs, benefits and risks of proposed management measures for sites within North Western Waters that may impact the public, private or third sector.
Enforcement, Sanctions and Monitoring
Responsibility for compliance, monitoring and enforcement of the provisions will be carried out by Marine Directorate Compliance. Reserved issues will continue to be addressed by the respective departments within the UK Government.
There is a requirement under the Marine (Scotland) Act to report and review the network every 6 years, the next review is due in 2024. Once fisheries management measures are implemented they will be captured within the reporting cycle of the MPA network.
