Commercial Fisheries Advisories: Sharks, Skates and Rays

Each year the Shark Trust work with the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs department (Defra) to produce and distribute Commercial Fisheries Advisories. These are designed to assist the commercial fishing industry and fisheries management and enforcement agencies. They provide rapid access to the current legislative status of sharks, skates and rays in UK, EU and international waters.

In 2018 the Shark Trust have produced 29 Commercial Fisheries Advisories, which can be downloaded here: Sharktrust.org
