WQ.165/2024

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 29th April 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 7th APRIL 2024

Question

“Will the Minister provide an annual breakdown of each of the shellfish and wetfish species landed by Jersey’s commercial fishing fleet since 2014, including the value of these landings and the tonnage of each species exported?”

Answer

The requested catch data is available on the 2022 annual report through gov.je. The 2023 data will be available in draft form by the end of May and will be published over the summer.

We do not hold full economic or export data as this is beyond the core remit of Marine Resources. A report is currently being drafted, linked to this subject, by the Rural and Marine Economy team. However, this may not have full sight of the commercial data of private businesses as it is dependent on voluntary cooperation by those organisations. An update has been requested from the rural economy team to see when the report will be ready for publication.
