SR617_Seafish VMS Project Report_SFA003

The Inshore Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) project was initiated to pilot and assess inshore vessel tracking systems to instil confidence in fishermen’s compliance with local environmental management agreements (statutory and voluntary). Seafish was approached by the South West Inshore Fishermens Association (SWIFA) to look at a vessel monitoring system for inshore scallop vessels. This project objective was to provide a means of verifying that vessels fishing inshore where able to provide evidence of compliance with voluntary and statutory agreements.

How can we monitor inshore fishing activity? MF1214:Inshore Vessel Monitoring System trial

Historically fishermen have had unrestricted access to the seas but as other activities stake a claim and formal spatial management planning becomes a reality, it is critical that fishermen record where and when they fish. Such information will help managers to better understand fishing practices and ensure that their stake in the planning process is appropriately represented. Also by monitoring fishing activity fishermen will be able to demonstrate that their activities can coexist with the many competing activities in the marine environment. Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) have been employed on the over 15 metre fleet for many years now, however the activities of a large number of under 15 metre vessels have never been monitored and thus, are poorly understood. To apply the standard VMS to inshore vessels is not straight forward due to the cost and need for frequent records so there is clearly a need for a low cost option for inshore fisheries, moreover a system which will add value to fishing business as well as regulators and managers.

Project Inshore - Stage 3 Strategic Sustainability North Eastern Inshore Fisheries & Conervation Authority

This report presents stage 3 of Project Inshore where findings of stage 1’s data gathering on fisheries within each IFCA and the results of stage 2’s MSC pre-assessment conducted for fisheries around England’s coast (involving over 400 different species, stock and gear combinations) are considered to provide a Strategic Sustainability Review tailored to the North Eastern IFCA.

Project Inshore - Stage 3 strategic sustainability review - A National Overview

This report provides a national strategic overview of the findings and recommendations 2. provided in the 9 IFCA specific Strategic Sustainability Reviews which were the primary focus of Stage 3 of Project Inshore. In addition, the national overview report provides the opportunity to highlight those stocks which straddle the inshore boundary (6nm) and have therefore not been the focus of the IFCA specific reports.
