Fisheries: Sustainable Development
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress the Government is making on achieving sustainable levels of fishing.
- Answer
-
We continue to make progress towards more sustainable fishing, with more stocks than ever now being fished in line with their Maximum Sustainable Yield. This year, there will be 29 stocks that are of interest to the UK and which will be fished at or below Maximum Sustainable Yield - an increase on 2016. The UK has been and will continue to be an advocate of sustainable fishing.
