In Part 2 of A National Conversation About Quota, the APPG Secretariat explores how different ways of allocating fishing opportunities can contribute towards the social, environmental or economic criteria of utilising the Maximum Sustainable Yield of a fish stock.  

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has commenced public consultation to advise on the future allocation of additional fishing opportunities owned by the UK after Brexit. Here the APPG Secretariat’s Rebecca Kaye outlines how fishing opportunities can be allocated by managing either effort or catch.

At the latest public event from the APPG on Fisheries, people across the fisheries industry gathered to discuss certified sustainable seafood. Rebecca, the newest addition to the APPG Secretariat, summarises the event with some key take-away messages.
