PART FOUR: IMPLEMENTATION, OVERSIGHT AND REVIEW
4.1 All who participated in developing this Strategic Framework for the freshwater fisheries sector in Scotland have a direct interest in its implementation. Responsibility for delivery of specific aspects is explicitly assigned within this document (Priority for Actions, Appendix 2).
4.2 The Scottish Government will continue to chair the Steering Group which will monitor progress. It will publish, on behalf of the Freshwater Fisheries Forum, a revised version of the Priority for Action Tables every six months so that the extent of progress made is visible. Where a target date for achievement of one or other of this document's commitments has been exceeded, the reasons for the delay will also be made explicit.
4.3 This six-monthly review of the progress with the Priorities for Action will specifically include a section that sets out how the PFA relates to the relevant one of the five Strategic Objectives articulated by the Scottish Government.
4.4 The Steering Group will review the overall progress with the strategic framework within 18 months of its launch, and decide whether further indicators of progress are required.
4.5 As the outcomes identified in the priorities for action tables are attained, they will contribute to a greater understanding of freshwater fisheries' future strategic requirements. We believe therefore that it will be appropriate to reconsider the Strategic Framework in its entirety within the next four to five years.
