The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7W-02781 by Jim Fairlie on 15 September 2026, whether it plans to undertake a Scotland-wide assessment of which areas of the inshore seabed would benefit most from reductions in bottom-towed fishing pressure, when this assessment will commence and when it will be published.
The answer
The Scottish Government has no plans at present to undertake such an assessment. Relevant evidence needs will continue to be considered as part of ongoing work to manage Scotland's seas.
