Overview
This consultation asks for your views on our detailed proposals for a risk-based framework for managing the interaction between sea lice from open-net pen finfish farms and wild salmonids in Scotland.
It follows on from our first consultation on the main elements of the proposed framework, issued in December 2021.
In developing the details of the framework, we have followed the Scottish Regulators’ Strategic Code of Practice, designing the framework to be transparent, accountable, consistent, and proportionate, targeting action to where it is needed, based on environmental risk.
