<p>The Climate Change Objective in the Fisheries Act ensures that future fisheries
management policy will mitigate against the effects of fishing on climate change,
as well as adapting to any future impacts of climate change. Fisheries administrations
will introduce legally binding policies, for example, to mitigate and reduce emissions,
to achieve this objective in the Joint Fisheries Statement.</p><p> </p><p>In addition,
UK Fisheries Authorities will develop Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) which will
set out in detail the management measures needed for sustainable harvesting and measures
to minimise the impact of fishing activity on the environment. Plans will be regularly
reviewed against indicators to monitor the FMPs effectiveness in meeting its goals
and targets against stock health and sustainability, levels of compliance and wider
ecosystem health.</p>
