Defra published an independent ‘Evaluation of Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities’ in 2021 as part of an ongoing evaluation programme which includes the production of Conduct and Operations Reports. Work is currently underway to gather feedback for the third Report covering 2018 to 2022. We expect to lay the Report in Parliament and publish in spring 2024.
