Defra are inviting all stakeholders to provide their views on the work of Devon and Severn IFCA to create a report covering 1st September 2018 to 31st August 2022.
The Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009) requires the Secretary of State to lay a report before Parliament on the ‘conduct and operation’ of the IFCAs as soon as reasonably practical after the end of every four-year period. The third report is now due and will cover from 1st September 2018 to 31st August 2022.
Defra are inviting all stakeholders to respond to their call for evidence to help them understand your perspective on the work of the Devon and Severn IFCA in meeting its duties. There are two ways to share your view.
A targeted Qualtrics survey designed for individuals that are most knowledgeable about the IFCAs including: recreational anglers, inshore fishers, IFCA General Members, local government Councillors, Arm’s Length Body employees, academics, and members of Non-Governmental Organisations. The survey is anonymous and can be accessed using the following link:
Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
An online Citizen Space survey for members of the public and representatives of organisations. This is available via the following link:
Both methods are now open and will close on 22 April 2024.
