Manage the implementation of fisheries management plans and assess the impact on the fishery

This standard is about managing the implementation of fisheries management plans and assess the impact on the fishery, while complying with relevant legal requirements. It includes monitoring and 
reporting the performance of the management activities to the all those involved.

This standard requires the ability to react to variations made to fisheries management plans.

This standard requires that you ensure work is completed safely, in line with relevant legal, and health and safety requirements and that you ensure work maintains bio-security and minimises environmental disturbance at all times.

The relevant legislation controlling the application of this standard will vary depending on the location of the fishery – in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland.
