To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of the University of Exeter's report entitled Resilience of Coastal Communities, Work Package 1: Responding to recent changes, Survey and Interview, Results Summary, published on 9 October 2024.

Answered by Emma Hardy

Defra welcomes the publication of the report, which is an output of work funded by UK Research and Innovation. We consider a number of policy initiatives already align with many of the work’s findings, and will continue to consider their implications in the further development of policy related to the management of fisheries and the marine environment.
