Public consultation on ‘Fisheries 2027’ launched Published:  06 February, 2007

DEFRA has launched a public consultation on the first example of an environmental contract in practice. ‘Fisheries 2027: towards a contract for the future of marine fisheries’ sets out Defra’s vision of the fisheries sector 20 years ahead.

The aim is to arrive at a “contract” for marine fisheries that recognises that everyone with an interest has a role to play, balancing environmental, economic and social objectives.

Views on the document must be submitted before 26 April. Go to: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/fish-2027/index.htm

The final version will be published in the summer.
