How the scheme works
How will it work ?
Fisheries that apply will be inspected by a competent professional member of the IFM who has received Scheme training.
The application fee is £180, plus £40 for each fishery on a site (to cover water analysis costs). Multi-fishery sites may apply for accreditation.
The status of fisheries that meet the standards will be recorded on a database that will be available publicly via this website.
Those fisheries that do not make the grade initially will be given time to comply by working towards the required standards before being reassessed.
Accreditation lasts for two years and is renewable thereafter.
