<p>As an independent coastal state, the UK has full responsibility over how it ensures
compliance in its fisheries. All fishing vessels in UK waters are required to fish
in accordance with UK laws and the conditions of their licences. As control and enforcement
is a devolved matter, Defra, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the
Northern Ireland Executive work together to share information and ensure a coordinated
approach to monitoring, compliance and enforcement across UK waters.</p>
