REVIEW OF THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANThis Fishery Management Plan has a duration of three years covering the initial datagathering phase of work on the River Don. The process of reviewing the work shallbe continuous, and not just localised to the period of producing the next three yearimprovements programme or the next six year plan at the end of 2014, and shall allowpractices to be adopted where they are shown to be of benefit to the fish and fishery.The main review points are described below.7.1 Annual ReviewAn annual appraisal of the progress made in implementing the plan will be made inDecember of each year. This will include achievements and the rationale for anydeviation from the plan. The results of this review will be published and madeavailable on the www.riverdon.org.uk website.7.2 Three-Year ReviewA major review of the plan will be conducted in December 2011 to mark the halfwaystage of implementation and examine the progress of the plan in relation to the targetslaid out in section 4.3. This will provide an opportunity to examine the findings todate, to produce the prioritised and budgeted remediation programme, and to lay outresearch priorities for the next three years. The outcome of this review will also bemade public.7.3 Six-Year ReviewThe accomplishments and areas of weakness in implementing the plan will bereviewed in early 2014. This will help to shape future iterations of the plan.7.4 River Don Fishery Management Plan 2015 to 2021.Following on from the six-year review of the initial plan the second plan will bewritten and put out to consultation in the late autumn of 2014 before commencing onJanuary 1 st 2015.
