Consultation on the proposed amendments to Annex A of the Joint Fisheries Statement

Closes 21 Nov 2024

Defra is seeking views on proposed amendments to Annex A of the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS). The JFS was published in November 2022 by the four UK fisheries policy authorities (the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers, the Welsh Ministers, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland), as required by the Fisheries Act 2020. The JFS sets out the future direction of UK fisheries management. In this consultation Defra is seeking views on amendments to the list of  Fisheries Management Plans included at Annex A of the JFS.

The consultation will run for 6 weeks and will close on 21 November 2024. The consultation relates to fisheries management across the UK.

This consultation has particular relevance to:

  • Individuals, groups, or businesses who are engaged in the fishing, seafood, or aquaculture sectors
  • Other individuals, groups or businesses who are sea users, for example, marine industries such as oil and gas, offshore renewables and sailing bodies
  • National and local interest groups such as environmental and recreational non-governmental organisations, and industry federations
