The Association of IFCAs has released their July edition of IFCA Insights.
IFCA Insights is designed to better connect and communicate the work carried out across England’s ten IFCAs. The Association of IFCAs represents the ten IFCAs in England and through their newsletter aim to showcase and highlight the innovation, dedication and impact of IFCAs and share widely their important work to manage inshore fisheries in England.
This has been an important period for England’s IFCAs, and this edition demonstrates the breadth, value and impact of the work being delivered around the coast.
As we mark 15 years of IFCAs, it is a timely opportunity to reflect on the progress made since their creation, but also to look ahead at the continuing role IFCAs play in supporting sustainable inshore fisheries, protecting the marine environment and working with coastal communities.
Inside this issue, you’ll find:
- Information on new and updated byelaws across several IFCAs, demonstrating evidence-based, locally led fisheries management.
- Examples of collaboration through the IFCA Technical Advisory Group and the Inshore and Small-Scale Fisheries (ISSF) Consortium.
- The AIFCA’s new ‘Conserve’ film, launched on World Oceans Day, highlighting how IFCAs manage fishing activity within Marine Protected Areas, balancing conservation objectives with sustainable use of our seas.
- Stories showcasing the professionalism of IFCA Officers and Members, from enforcement and digital innovation to community engagement.
