Marine Scotland has issued a reminder to creel fishing vessels that the Outer Hebrides Inshore Fisheries Pilot starts this November
Marine Scotland has issued a notice to creel fishing vessels to the east of the Outer Hebrides.
The notice is in relation to The Outer Hebrides Inshore Fisheries Pilot which will commence on 01 November 2020 and will run until 01 November 2022.
One of the proposals proposed under the 2017 Inshore Fisheries Pilots Initiative, the Outer Hebrides Inshore Fisheries Pilot will commence in November 2020, testing fisheries management measures including creel limitation within an area to the east of the Outer Hebrides.

According to the report, the Outer Hebrides Regional Inshore Fisheries Group (OHRIFG) believes that a pilot pot limitation scheme will help reverse decreasing catch per unit effort rates.
The scheme could also help reduce gear conflict between static and mobile gear vessels, prevent gear being placed on the ground to stop others from fishing, help to improve health and safety in the industry and will encourage the fishing industry to take a more responsible role in the management of the marine environment by taking an active role in the policing of creel restrictions, according to OHRIFG.
With support from the OHRIFG and from local static gear fishermen, Marine Scotland agreed that a Pilot Pot Limitation Scheme be developed and to ascertain whether an electronic tracking system could accurately monitor static gear fishing activity and manage a pot limitation scheme.
