<p>Marine conservation is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore
relates to England only.</p><p> </p><p>The Marine Management Organisation monitors
fishing activity with dedicated enforcement and surveillance work to protect fisheries,
including offshore patrol vessels for at-sea surveillance. It tracks the movement
of all fishing vessels 24 hours a day through satellite technology, deploys aerial
surveillance, and coordinates intelligence from third-party sources – detecting where
and when illegal fishing is suspected. Not all fishing activities within Marine Protected
Areas will require management; only those activities likely to damage the designated
features, such as trawling on the seabed.</p><p> </p><p>At the end of the Transition
Period, we will have the right to decide who fishes in our waters and on what terms.
Any decisions about giving access to fish for vessels from the European Union, or
any other coastal states, will be a matter for the UK to decide.</p>
