Evaluation of Scottish Regional Inshore Fisheries Groups.
The Marine Directorate of Scotland is conducting an evaluation of the Regional Inshore Fisheries Groups (RIFGs) and is seeking input from individuals and organisations involved in the inshore fishing industry.
The Marine Directorate is inviting the public, researchers and organisations involved in the inshore fishing industry in Scotland to share views on the 6 Scottish Regional Inshore Fisheries Groups (RIFGs). The views will be used to evaluate the RIFGs and will allow researchers to make recommendations on their future.
The survey will look into the impact of RIFGs, their remit and organisation, as well as the future. The survey is conducted by the Marine Analytical Unit, a group of social researchers, economists, and data analysts based in the Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government. An additional output will be to build a database of fishers who are willing to be contacted for occasional research conducted by the Marine Analytical Unit.

The closing date for the survey is 30 April 2024.
