Consultation description

We are asking for opinions of the proposed crab and lobster FMP in the Welsh zone. Under the Fisheries Act 2020 (on gov.uk), the four UK administrations (the fisheries policy authorities) published a Joint Fisheries Statement. This statement includes a list of FMPs to be published over a six-year period. We intend to publish the Crab and Lobster FMP in the Welsh zone this year.
