Launch of MPA Fishing Coalition Early Next Year
Talks are under way to establish a high-level body to engage with Government on the introduction of marine protected areas in UK waters.
The new body, provisionally named the MPA Fishing Coalition, already has the backing of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations and the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation and is expected to draw wide support from organisations and associations across the fishing industry. It is anticipated that the new body will be formally launched early next year.
