We want to know what you think about the following proposals:

  • limiting the selectivity device options to include only the most selective devices for Nephrops
  • prohibiting the use and carriage of strengthening bags
  • increasing the catch composition threshold, which defines a Nephrops-directed fishery in the Celtic Sea, from 5% to either 15 or 30%
