Survey Report for the 2025 Fair Isle inshore fish survey
The 2025 survey is the fourth consecutive inshore fish survey to be completed around Fair Isle which took during August 2025. Together with a dedicated sandeel survey carried out in May 2025, it represents the most ambitious fisheries survey programme undertaken around the island to date. The survey is building an increasingly valuable long-term picture of Fair Isle’s marine ecosystem and will help strengthen the scientific evidence needed to further inform potential future management of the Fair Isle Demonstration and Research MPA.
