Fisheries Management and Protection

Fisheries around the UK require careful management and protection, ensuring the resource is used in a sustainable manner, whilst provding a vital lifeline for many rural and coastal communities.  Balancing the needs of different sectors in managing marine resources requires a commitment to constant dialogue and the sharing of information.  Without information it is impossible to plan effectively for marine resource management.  The key organisations involved in managing and protecting our fisheries are listed below:

Marine Fisheries Agency
The Association of Sea Fisheries Committees
Devon Sea Fisheries Committee
Cornwall Sea Fisheries Committee
Duchy Fish Quota Company
