Good News for Oyster Fishers

There’s positive movement for sustainable oyster fishing in Cornwall. 

In response to a recent parliamentary question I raised, Minister Daniel Zeichner confirmed that Defra has approved a proposal from the Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) to increase the minimum landing size for Fal oysters.

The decision was made this month, and Cornwall IFCA has been notified. Further engagement with local stakeholders will support the rollout.

This is a great step toward protecting oyster stocks and supporting long-term sustainability in the Fal fishery.
