Consultation description

We want to know what you think about the policies and proposed management measures set out in the proposed seabream fisheries management plan (FMP) for English waters. 

Defra developed the proposed FMP in partnership with the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). 

This FMP sets out plans for the long-term sustainable management of seabream stocks in English waters. 

We are also seeking views on an environmental report, which describes the likely environmental impacts of the FMP.
