Dates Announced for Stakeholder Events in Wells and Sheringham on Crab/Lobster and Whelk Fisheries Management Plans

Seafish have announced dates for two stakeholder events in our district on the development of crab/lobster and whelk Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs):

 

    • The Whelk FMP event:
    • Tuesday 13th December, from 5pm to 7pm at Wells Maltings Staithe Street, Wells-Next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR23 1AU.

 

    • The Crab & Lobster FMP event:
    • Wednesday 14 December, 5pm to 7pm at Oddfellows Hall Lifeboat Plain, Sheringham, NR26 8BG

 

Both events are drop-in and provide an opportunity for industry and wider stakeholder input into the development of the FMPs which have been enshrined under the UK Fisheries Act 2020 as the main tool for reforming national fisheries management following Brexit. FMPs will set out evidence-based policies that will detail how fishing is managed, by stock, fishery or location.
