Response to the Consultation on the Proposed Introduction of New Statutory Scallop Fishing Management Measures

Scottish Environment LINK’s Marine Taskforce welcomes the opportunity to respond to the consultation on new statutory scallop fishing management measures. However, we are disappointed in the scope of the consultation and the measures proposed within it. This consultation misses a real opportunity to explore further measures which are urgently required to address the wider environmental impacts of this industry and support a truly sustainable fishery.
