Q&A with Dave Mee Senior Fisheries Advisor Craig Evans: Environmental Crime Officer Joel Rees-Jones: Fisheries technical specialist Jeremy Frost: Inland Fisheries , Marine and Fisheries Division Welsh Government

  3. Sustainable Inland Fisheries in Wales A vision for fisheries: • Fisheries of Wales are iconic and highly valued • Fish are valued as an important natural resource for Wales and are to be managed within sustainable limits • The status of Welsh fisheries is an indicator of the health and resilience of the natural resources of Wales • Fisheries contribute to viable, vibrant communities in Wales

  4. Sustainable Inland Fisheries in Wales The benefits from ecosystems services are not being optimised. Fisheries context: – Exploitation should only occur where stocks of salmon and sea trout are sustainable – We broadly seek to achieve a measure of equity between rod and net components of the fisheries – Healthy and resilient salmon and sea trout stocks are for the wider benefit of fishermen and fisheries interests, but also for the broader public

  5. Net Fisheries The ‘All Wales NLO 13 different fisheries fish in 10 river estuaries is capped at a total of 45 licences Teifi, Towy, Taf, Nevern, Cleddau, Dyfi, Mawddach, Dysynni, Conwy, Glaslyn Catch 5yr average 192 salmon and 1,644 sea trout
