Rating summary

This rating is currently under review.

Technical consultation summary

We have placed this rating under review as the closure of the Dogger Bank SAC has prevented scallop stock surveys by bottom towed gears in 2022/23. It is unclear if a scallop fishery continues in areas outside of the closure.
