Consultation on the Proposed Introduction of new Statutory Scallop Fishing Management Measures – Outcome Report

Next Steps

To ensure current management measures used in the scallop fishery are suitable and that its environmental impact is properly understood, Marine Scotland will commission a review of technical, economic and environmental aspects of the fishery with a view to making recommendations about governance.

The review will be based on a specification prepared by Marine Scotland and will be advertised at the end of January 2013. The review will begin in April 2013 and will be concluded by autumn 2013.
