The objectives for UK fisheries were set in the Fisheries Act, but how they will be delivered is an ongoing exercise. This study provides a logic framework to support the MMOs strategic planning for fisheries and to guide improved monitoring and evaluation. The framework explains how a theory of change can be used to support strategy design and monitoring and evaluation, and identifies a set of common outcomes that need to be delivered for achievement of the objectives and lays out key areas of activity and actors relevant to each area. There is also a focus on fisher compliance and reviews the power of fishers agency.
