# Commission Implementing Decision of 11 December 2013 confirming measures proposed by the United Kingdom for the protection of marine ecosystems in the areas of conservation Haisborough Hammond & Winterton; Start Point to Plymouth Sound & Eddystone, and Land's End & Cape Bank (notified under document C(2013) 9003) (Only the Dutch, English and French texts are authentic) (2014/13/EU), Division 7.9.2

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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.
