Scottish Nephrops Working Group Report: Scottish Government response

Conclusion

We are committed to working together towards a sustainable future for the nephrops industry and the seafood sector as a whole. The delivery of a globally recognised premium product which is sustainably sourced, and delivers a valuable economic input to a future low carbon economy is of the utmost importance to Scottish Government. We will do all we can to help the sector achieve these aims.

We would like to reiterate our thanks to everyone involved in delivering these detailed proposals.

We welcome the recommendations laid out in the report and, while many are for industry to lead on, we recognise the role Scottish Government can play and look forward to working with the Programme Board to take them forward.
