Days at Sea
We are responsible for managing the Days at Sea Scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to manage fishing effort allowing us to meet our obligations under the long term cod and sole recovery plans toward improving the sustainability of cod and sole stocks.
Cod Recovery Zone
The new cod scheme began on 1 February 2012. We issued the new scheme rules on 13 February 2012. More information
Sole Recovery Zone
The new sole scheme began on 1 February 2012. The new scheme will run in exactly the same way as last year. More information
Western Waters regime
The Western Waters effort regime applies to UK fishing vessels over 15 metres in length fishing in waters to the west of Scotland, Wales, England including the Channel and south west towards France and Spain (ICES Areas VI, VII and VIII). It has become necessary to establish management measures on activity by UK vessels fishing for scallops in ICES Area VII. More information
