Whelk: proposed fisheries management plan consultation

We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the whelk fisheries management plan (FMP) for English waters.   

Defra developed the proposed whelk FMP in partnership with Seafish (the Sea Fish Industry Authority) and in collaboration with the shellfish industry’s Whelk Management Group. The FMP sets out plans for the long-term sustainable management of the whelk fisheries around England.  

We are also seeking views on an environmental report, which describes the likely environmental impacts of the whelk FMP.
