The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has resumed its Inshore Vessel Monitoring System (I-VMS) programme, partnering once again with CLS UK Ltd to implement tracking devices for England's under-12 metre fishing fleet. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance fisheries monitoring in UK coastal waters. The decision has sparked discussions within the industry, as stakeholders consider the implications of increased surveillance on fishing practices and regulatory compliance. The rollout aims to improve data collection and management of marine resources, contributing to sustainable fishing efforts.
