Fixed quota allocations: changing the way units are allocated for England’s 10m and under fishing fleet
Seeking views on proposals to give England’s under 10m fishing fleet the option to have an annual Fixed Quota Allocation (FQAs).
Detail
We want to know what you think about plans to give England’s under 10m (U10m) fishing fleet the option to receive an annual Fixed Quota Allocation (FQAs). This informal consultation will help us develop these proposals and how they would work.
This is to improve certainty in business planning and fishing opportunity available to fishermen with U10m vessels.
If the proposals go ahead, we envisage that the FQA entitlement of each licence will have been calculated from the beginning of 2015.
