Consultation on the proposed Cockle Fisheries Management Plan

The purpose of this consultation is to seek your views on the proposed cockle Fisheries Management Plan (FMP), its policies and proposed actions. We are also seeking your views on the likely environmental effects of the FMP, as set out in the environmental report. The cockle FMP sets out a pathway to the long-term sustainable management of the cockle fisheries in English waters. The FMP sets out goals for the fishery, and short- and long-term actions to achieve them.
