The Marine Management Organisation sets annual fishing catch limits (Total Allowable Catches) for UK waters to manage fish stocks and ensure sustainable fisheries. The policy involves regular reviews and adjustments to catch quotas, with recent reviews conducted in March, April, and September 2026 to determine allowable harvest levels effective from specified dates. This is an active, ongoing regulatory function that balances conservation with commercial fishing interests.
