Our corporate scorecard shows a high level overview of our performance against our environmental and business aims.

The scorecard is reported every 3 months to executive directors, the board, Defra, and is made public on GOV.UK.

Targets are set for each of these measures. For each measure, we show how we’re currently performing and whether or not we’re on track to achieve our target performance by the end of the year. Each measure has a more detailed ‘insight report’ that tells the story of how we’re performing as well as showing trends and future forecasts.

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) sets monthly catch limits for quota species to ensure the UK stays within the overall limit set by the EU. These limits apply to all under 10 meter vessels and the over 10 meter vessels that are not in a co-operative (Producer Organisation).

Please contact the MMO if you have any comment to make about the suggested catch limits which will be put into force on 1 February 2018.

Comments to be received no later than 11:45pm on Sunday 25 February 2018.

The MMO will regularly consult industry on monthly or other catch limits and will, wherever possible, ensure that any representations are taken into account when setting such limits. The MMO reserve the right to alter catch limits and / or close fisheries without prior notice or consultation in the event that such actions are necessary and expedient for the regulation of sea fishing.
