Seafish Comments on the Fifth Quinquennial Review of Schedules 5 and 8 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

Summary

This is the Seafish response to Defra's consultation on the Fifth Quinquennial Review of Schedules 5 and 8 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Defra's consultation documents can be found here: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/wildlife-act/index.htm. Seafish is generally in favour of some restriction of targeted fishing for vulnerable species. Seafish is concerned that such restrictions would not be enforcible on non-UK vessels in the 6-12 nm zone.
