Question
Will the Welsh Government allow a tuna catch-and-release tagging (Chart) programme to run from 16 August to 17 November 2021 as in England?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
We are planning to run a pilot tuna research project in Wales in 2021. This will involve the catch, release and tagging of tuna (CHART) at sea. Once the plan for this work has been completed, the operational dates will be confirmed.
