Monitoring of fish populations helps us to: 1. inform our management decisions 2. report on the Water Framework Directive (to show the state of the water environment) We undertake surveys either every year, 2 years, 3 years or 6 years. The repeat frequency depends on why we are collecting information at the site. Not every water body is monitored f...
Our research and development programme helps to make sure we have a rigorous evidence base to support risk-based decision making and deliver sustainable fisheries management.
