▤ Verbatim text from source document
We want to know what you think about latent capacity (unused fishing permits and entitlements) in the scallop and shellfish fleet for vessels over 10m in England.
Your views will help us gather information around the risks the uptake of latent capacity presents to the sustainability of the stocks (king scallops, crabs, lobsters and crawfish) and identify challenges the sectors are facing.
The evidence we collect will be used to assess and support future management measures in the scallop and shellfish sector fleets.
