Fish and fisheries management at an appropriate scale and to a consistent standard, will be a central base upon which we will realise our shared vision for the sector. One of the principal aims of the Strategic Framework is to move towards the objective that management decisions affecting freshwater fisheries and fish species should be underpinned by scientific evidence. It is recognised that some issues such as habitat management should be localised, whereas other issues such as considering or mitigating for acid rain or climate change will have both local and national significance.
