ABOUT SUCCESS CRITERIA
The IFCAs operate under a shared Vision: “to lead, champion and manage a sustainable marine environment and inshore fisheries.” To support the delivery of this Vision, all ten IFCAs across England follow a unified framework of Success Criteria (next page) and High-Level Objectives, developed by Defra and designed to ensure consistent, effective, and accountable service delivery across the network. This collective framework aligns the strategic aims and operational priorities of all IFCAs, shaping how each Authority plans, delivers, and evaluates its work. It acts as both a performance benchmark and a guiding structure, helping IFCAs respond to national policy, regional priorities, and local needs. The criteria inform the development of NIFCA’s annual workstreams and reporting, providing a clear structure for our enforcement, research, stakeholder engagement, and internal governance. On the following pages, you will find icons accompanying each of our planned workstreams, showing how they contribute to one or more of the five Success Criteria.
