Recommendation
Industry engagement should continue at a consistent level in the development of the Fund from year two onwards and be expanded to include additional fisheries groups and representatives from Cornwall. In response to this report, the government should set out whether, from year two of the fund onwards, it intends to develop a single new system that incorporates both traditional FaSS activity and the wider Fund priorities, or whether it will use a two-tier delivery model. The government should specify the proportion of the Fund that will be allocated to each priority area, and which organisations will be responsible for delivery in England. (Recommendation, Paragraph 18)
