Rules for access to waters after the UK leaves the EU
When the UK leaves the EU, the government will control and manage access to fish in UK waters. It will be responsible for managing the UK’s:
territorial waters (out to 12 nautical miles)
Exclusive Economic Zone (out to 200 nautical miles or the median line with other states)
The UK government will make sure that fisheries control and enforcement continue.
UK waters
There will be no change to your rights and responsibilities if you have a UK-registered vessel fishing in UK waters. You must continue to comply with the law and the conditions of your licence, including the economic link criteria.
Non-UK-registered vessels will no longer have automatic access to UK waters. This will be subject to any existing agreements covering territorial waters.
EU and non-EU (third country) waters
There will be no automatic access for UK-registered vessels to fish in EU or non-EU (third country) waters. This will be subject to any existing agreements covering territorial waters.
Quota allocations and fishing opportunities
If you’re a UK quota holder, the UK fisheries administrations will tell you what your allocation will be. They aim to do this in October 2019.
The government will also confirm arrangements for:
non-quota shellfish (scallops, edible crabs and spider crabs)
demersal species under the Western Waters effort regime (demersal species live mainly on or near the sea floor)
There will be no automatic access for:
the UK Fisheries Administrations to exchange fishing opportunities with EU member states
EU member states to exchange fishing opportunities with the UK
North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) Convention Area
You can prepare for the UK joining the NEAFC. For UK-registered vessels to continue fishing in the convention area, and landing into the EU, you must hold a current UK domestic licence. You’ll need this before you can apply for an international licence from the relevant fisheries authority.
Please contact your local fisheries authority office if you want further guidance on fishing internationally. You’ll also need to register with the NEAFC’s electronic Port State Control system and complete the Port State Control 1 forms.
Regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs)
The UK will join all relevant RFMOs as quickly as possible - it will no longer be a member of RFMOs through EU membership. The joining process may take up to 6 months.
During this time, UK vessels may not be able to fish in international waters covered by RFMOs. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will keep fishermen informed of progress and what the outcome of a decision will mean in practice.
Access to ports
If you have a UK-registered vessel, you’ll no longer have an automatic right to land fish in any EU port. You’ll be allowed access to EU designated ports for:
port services
landings
transhipment
the use of market facilities (where vessels meet EU requirements on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing)
You must notify the relevant Fisheries Monitoring Centre of your intention to arrive into a designated port. You must notify vessel and catch-related information
