Marine Management Organisation
This FMP is one of 43 FMPs to be developed under the Joint Fisheries Statement to support a sustainable and profitable fishing industry. The Southern North Sea demersal NQS FMP is among the Tranche Four of the FMPs being developed, with an aim to publish the plan at the end of 2025.
MMO will work with stakeholders from commercial and recreational fishing sectors, environmental organisations and other key marine bodies to understand their views.
Development of a plan specifically for Black Seabream was highlighted by the fishing industry and other key marine stakeholders as a necessary move because of impacts due to potential overexploitation of the species.
If you are interested in the Black Seabream FMP and want to be included in our stakeholder communications please send your details in confidence and a summary of your particular interest to FMP@marinemanagement.org.uk.
