The inshore fisheries off Sussex
An exciting new report has been published by the Sussex SFC in which, for the first time, details on the extent and nature of the inshore fisheries off the Sussex coast are described. It is a comprehensive assesment of the spatial extent of an inshore fishery. This is an important development as it demonstrates the significance of the Sussex fisheries and is of use for spatial planning.
