The order, issued in April, aims to improve the commercial fishing and aquaculture sectors while reducing regulatory burdens.
"identifying ways to improve the commercial fishing and aquaculture sectors while reducing their regulatory burden"

The councils are submitting a list of items they are tackling or considering in response to the order.
