Freshwater Fisheries Forum
The Freshwater Fisheries Forum was proposed as one of a number of recommendations made by the Fisheries Co-ordination Working Group. It has been set up jointly by the Scottish Executive and key stakeholders from the freshwater fisheries sector. The Forum is intended to provide the public arena at which attendees can be kept up to date with developments and be able to express views.
The general purpose of the Forum is to allow for an exchange of information and discussion of topical issues and to aid the consultation process and decision making for any new legislation.
The Strategic Framework for Scottish Freshwater Fisheries was launched on 25 September 2007, a copy of the consultation document can be found in the Consultations section of this website. Responses to the consultation are due by 4 January 2008 and can be made on the following forms.
