Report to Parliament about Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities' (IFCAs) conduct and operations 2018-2022

Why we are consulting The Secretary of State must prepare a statutory report into the conduct and operation of the ten Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCA’s) every four years, which must be laid before Parliament. This third report covers the period from September 2018 to September 2022. The report will assess the IFCA’s against their five high level objectives set out in the IFCA Vision and Success Criteria document set out in the 2014-2018 Conduct and Operations Report on the IFCAs. Success Criterion 1: Communications and Engagement IFCAs are recognised and heard, balancing the economic needs of the fishery whilst working in partnership and engaging with stakeholders. Success Criterion 2: Compliance and Enforcement IFCAs implement a fair, effective, and proportionate enforcement regime. Suc
