King scallop: proposed fisheries management plan consultation
Seeking views on the proposed king scallop fisheries management plan (FMP) for English and Welsh waters and the environmental report on the FMP.
We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the proposed king scallop fisheries management plan (FMP) for English and Welsh waters.
The proposed FMP has been developed by Defra and the Welsh Government in partnership with the Scallop Industry Consultation Group Working Group (SICGWG).
This FMP sets out plans for the sustainable management of the king scallop fishery in English and Welsh waters. It also aims to ensure that the long-term benefits of scallop fishing can be realised by the communities that depend on them.
We are also seeking views on an environmental report, which describes the likely environmental impacts of the king scallop FMP.
