Detail

We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the proposed Celtic Sea and Western Channel demersal 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 Marine Management Organisation (MMO). 

This FMP sets out plans for the long-term sustainable management of Celtic Sea and Western Channel demersal stocks in English and Welsh waters. 

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

We have also published this consultation in Welsh.
