As the Deputy may be aware, I undertook an extensive public consultation from 30 April to 11 June 2018 in relation to trawling activity inside the 6 nautical mile zone. A consultation paper was made available on the Department's website setting out the background to this issue and an analysis of the various options available. There were over 900 submissions to the Consultation, including the one referred to by the Deputy, comprising a wide diversity of views.

Taking into account the submissions received and following any necessary further analysis, I will carefully consider any possible measures to be introduced. My decision will be published on the Department's website as early as possible.
