Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the results of the Scottish fisheries and climate change survey and any action it will take on this.
Answer
We launched the Fisheries Climate Change survey in November 2021 during COP 26 to assess the fishing sector’s readiness/ preparedness to respond to the climate change challenge. We said then that the results will be used to inform a stakeholder workshop in 2022.
The analysis is complete and we are now in the process of compiling a summary of the responses received and we will be publishing the summary shortly.
We are also in the process of planning the stakeholders workshop where we will present and discuss the results from the Fisheries Climate Change survey.
