Bilateral fisheries negotiations with the Faroe Islands, one of Scotland’s closest fishing neighbours, have now concluded for 2025. These agreements set out exchanges of fishing opportunities of quotas and access.

 

The UK-Faroe agreement sets out quota exchanges which will allow UK vessels to fish key species in Faroese waters. This includes quotas for cod, haddock, and saithe at similar levels to the 2024 agreement in exchange for stocks including Greenland halibut, North Sea haddock and Western blue ling.

 

This is the final in a suite of negotiations which will provide over £600 million of fishing opportunities to Scottish fishers in 2025.

 

The UK-Faroe Agreed Record for 2025 will be published on the Scottish Government website
