ANNUAL PLAN 2024/25 9 Our Enforcement Team, led by Joseph Moulton, handles the operational delivery of our fisheries and marine environmental regulation. This centres on helping our regulated stakeholders remain compliant with the raft of legislation that we are statutorily responsible for. The team of thirteen Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Officers (IFCOs) provides guidance and education to our fishing industry stakeholders and other relevant groups to enable their compliance and, as a last resort, take enforcement action against any non-compliance that has the potential to be of significant detriment to our fisheries or wider marine environment. Annabel Plumeridge leads our Science Team, who deliver all our scientific research and monitoring work across the district. This team of technical specialists regularly devises and applies a variety of bespoke survey methodologies to assess the state of our various fisheries and marine environments and works closely with key partner organisations to maximise the scope of our scientific understanding. With ever-changing marine ecosystems and habitats, their work is never dull, and they are constantly innovating and adapting their approaches to deliver the best evidence base upon which the Authority can make informed, sound decisions. The Authority’s Administration Team provides all the necessary administrative support to our two operational teams and our CEO. Managed by Alison Nicholson, they deliver our finance and HR functions, organise our various committee meetings, manage and maintain all our assets, including estates, vessels and vehicles, run our fisheries permit schemes, and process all our enforcement and fisheries data.
