Fisheries management and marine enforcement
Fisheries and environmental management arrangements are strengthened by the Act so that more effective action can be taken to conserve marine ecosystems and help achieve a sustainable and profitable fisheries sector.
As part of modernising inshore fisheries management in England, Sea Fisheries Committees (SFCs) will be replaced by ten Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs)
