Management Committee for migratory fish

Assembly gathering representatives of local authorities, the managing administration, fishing federations, users, concession owners, owners and scientists responsible for establishing a management plan for migratory fish, in freshwater and seawater. The management committee for migratory fish is in charge, among other things, of giving an opinion on the river basin management plan (SDAGE) and sub-basin management plans (SAGEs). Its members are nominated for five years by the Basin Coordinator Prefect, who is the president. There are now eight management committees in continental France, roughly corresponding to the major French river basins.
