We are seeking your views on the draft Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS). It has been developed by the four UK fisheries policy authorities (the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers, the Welsh Ministers, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland), as required by the Fisheries Act 2020. The JFS sets out the future direction of UK fisheries management. In this consultation we are seeking your views on the policies in the JFS and the proposals for the related Fisheries Management Plans. The consultation will run for 12 weeks and will close on 12 April 2022. The consultation relates to fisheries management across the UK. The consultation document (Consultation draft of the Joint Fisheries Statement) is linked at the bottom of this page, under related documents, in English and Welsh. The online survey is in English and Welsh, and responses can be submitted in either language. ----------------------------
