About

The project aligns with the Fisheries Act 2020 ecosystem objective that incidental catches of sensitive marine species are minimised and, where possible, eliminated, and supports the UK Marine Strategy to meet Good Environmental Status.
It also supports the implementation of the UK Bycatch Mitigation Initiative (published August 2022).
The contract value is £874,210.
