North Sea Stocks Survey 2009

The NFFO in collaboration with the North Sea Regional Advisory Council and other Fishermen’s representative bodies are again running the North Sea Stocks Survey that invites fishermen to contribute their knowledge on the status and trends in stocks subject to TACs. The survey has now been running since 2003.

The survey is increasingly regarded by ICES scientists as an invaluable contribution in guiding their advice, which in turn is used to steer the management decisions which set the annual TACs.
