Division 7.9.2
United Kingdom
The enforcement of the proposed byelaw will be met within the current budget. The EU VMS will be used as a management tool for sea and air enforcement of over 12m vessels. As a result of the low fishing activity within the inshore part of the site (within 12nm) the risk of non-compliance will be minimal or low risk. Table 2 highlights the estimated enforcement costs for the management of this preferred option.
