Quota
Quota Management
Fishing activity is regulated at European level, by allocation of 'Total Allowable Catches' (TACs) to defined individual fishing areas. Within these TACs, each member state is granted quota allocations. The Northern Ireland allocations are managed by two local Producer Organisations (POs), overseen by the Department, within the UK wide quota management system.
Further information is available by visiting the Marine Fisheries Agency or the Defra website (see below).
