About

Defra awarded a contract to Risk & Policy Analysts Ltd for a robust, compact, and targeted evaluation of two small-scale bluefin tuna fisheries—a commercial fishery trial with 10 licences as of 2023 and a recreational CHART with 25 licences as of 2022—focusing on the social and economic benefits these may provide to UK fishers and coastal communities.

The work considered benefits and challenges under differing quota allocation between commercial and recreational bluefin tuna fisheries, including how to maximise opportunities and gross value added for both sectors for a given quota, and developed a quantifiable measure to allow comparison between the commercial and recreational fisheries quota.

The contract value was £48,808.
