Quotas update

We aim to provide an update on a Wednesday or Thursday for all quota-related information to provide the fishing industry with more information about fisheries at risk and catch limits.

Fisheries at risk

We are working hard within our powers to continue to keep these fisheries open by actively seeking additional quota from a variety of sources. We may also have to explore reductions in monthly catch limits to prolong these fisheries.
