## Description

the MMO is leading on the delivery of several new Fisheries Management Plans including the Channel demersal non quota species\. With this, we are trialling innovative ways of designing and implementing fisheries management within the English context\. Social evidence gaps have been identified as part of this process\. This has included the social and economic evidence base we currently draw on when we are making management decisions\. One such concern pivots on our understanding \(or lack of\) of what the benefits are that local commercial fishing bring to their local communities \(and immediate family networks\)\. Through this project, we wish to gain a better understanding of the local social and economic importance of local fisheries endeavours and the benefits these fisheries bring to both fishers targeting this species and their associated communities\. This contract was awarded by MMO\.
