There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Fisheries Act 2020, Section 1.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
(1)The fisheries objectives are—
(a)the sustainability objective,
(b)the precautionary objective,
(c)the ecosystem objective,
(d)the scientific evidence objective,
(e)the bycatch objective,
(f)the equal access objective,
(g)the national benefit objective, and
(h)the climate change objective.
(2)The “sustainability objective” is that—
(a)fish and aquaculture activities are—
(i)environmentally sustainable in the long term, and
(ii)managed so as to achieve economic, social and employment benefits and contribute to the availability of food supplies, and
(b)the fishing capacity of fleets is such that fleets are economically viable but do not overexploit marine stocks.
(3)The “precautionary objective” is that—
(a)the precautionary approach to fisheries management is applied, and
(b)exploitation of marine stocks restores and maintains populations of harvested species above biomass levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yield.
(4)The “ecosystem objective” is that—
(a)fish and aquaculture activities are managed using an ecosystem-based approach so as to ensure that their negative impacts on marine ecosystems are minimised and, where possible, reversed, and
(b)incidental catches of sensitive species are minimised and, where possible, eliminated.
(5)The “scientific evidence objective” is that—
(a)scientific data relevant to the management of fish and aquaculture activities is collected,
(b)where appropriate, the fisheries policy authorities work together on the collection of, and share, such scientific data, and
(c)the management of fish and aquaculture activities is based on the best available scientific advice.
(6)The “bycatch objective” is that—
(a)the catching of fish that are below minimum conservation reference size, and other bycatch, is avoided or reduced,
(b)catches are recorded and accounted for, and
(c)bycatch that is fish is landed, but only where this is appropriate and (in particular) does not create an incentive to catch fish that are below minimum conservation reference size.
(7)The “equal access objective” is that the access of UK fishing boats to any area within British fishery limits is not affected by—
(a)the location of the fishing boat's home port, or
(b)any other connection of the fishing boat, or any of its owners, to any place in the United Kingdom.
(8)The “national benefit objective” is that fishing activities of UK fishing boats bring social or economic benefits to the United Kingdom or any part of the United Kingdom.
(9)The “climate change objective” is that—
(a)the adverse effect of fish and aquaculture activities on climate change is minimised, and
(b)fish and aquaculture activities adapt to climate change.
(10)In this section—
“ecosystem-based approach” means an approach which—
ensures that the collective pressure of human activities is kept within levels compatible with the achievement of good environmental status (within the meaning of the Marine Strategy Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/1627)), and
does not compromise the capacity of marine ecosystems to respond to human-induced changes;
“precautionary approach to fisheries management” means an approach in which the absence of sufficient scientific information is not used to justify postponing or failing to take management measures to conserve target species, associated or dependent species, non-target species or their environment.

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.
Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.
Rhychwant ddaearyddol: Indicates the geographical area that this provision applies to. For further information see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
