Consultation description

We want to know what you think about our proposals to improve how the UK queen scallop fishery is managed in future. These improvements will help protect queen scallop stocks and build on the data and evidence we collect.

The proposals include increasing the minimum size of scallop that can be retained and options for restricting access to the fishery.
