2025-26 Annual Report

This section reviews NIFCA’s key workstreams delivered over the past year, covering our core areas of activity: Science and Research, Partnership Working, Enforcement and Compliance, and Governance and Development. These workstreams reflect our strategic priorities and were shaped by evidence, risk assessments, legislative requirements, and ongoing engagement with stakeholders. Together, they demonstrate how NIFCA has continued to fulfil its statutory duties while responding to emerging challenges and opportunities in the marine environment. Each workstream is mapped against one or more of the five national IFCA Success Criteria, which are indicated using icons throughout this section. These markers highlight the ways in which our work has contributed to shared goals across all IFCAs, including sustainable fisheries, environmental protection, and strong governance. By delivering against these focused workstreams, NIFCA has maintained effective, responsive, and collaborative management of inshore fisheries across our District. COMPLETING NIFCA WORK STREAMS
