Marine Fishing Catch Limits

The Marine Management Organisation manages fish catch limits and sustainability under UK fisheries law, with recent focus on bycatch mitigation and marine mammal protection. The Illegal and Unsustainable Fishing (Due Diligence) Bill addresses illegal fishing and supply chain due diligence. Current policy challenges include insufficient bycatch monitoring, electronic monitoring requirements, and alignment of fishing investment with post-Brexit EU reciprocal access arrangements.
