How to guides for fisheries management participation

This work supports the recommendations set out in the Fisher to Fisher Roadmap, which highlights the importance of empowering fishers to participate in management decisions.

We are creating a series of short, user-friendly guides that explain key steps and processes in fisheries management. These guides are designed to make participation easier, more accessible and more transparent.

Each guide focuses on a specific topic, such as how to write an effective consultation response or the difference between a call for evidence and a consultation. The videos will be accompanied by relevant links and, where appropriate, infographics.

These guides are for inshore fishers and anyone in the fisheries sector who wants to understand and take part in fisheries management.

Active participation by fishers is essential for sustainable fisheries. By making fisheries management easier to understand, these guides help ensure that fishers’ voices are heard.

Whether you’re actively involved or simply want to stay informed, we encourage you to explore the resources and share your feedback.

If you fish commercially or recreationally within the 12 nautical mile limit and would like to receive regular updates from the RFGs, including news on FMPs and inshore fisheries, email us at [email protected] to join the mailing list.
