In 2026, 5% of English allocated quota was distributed via QAM, around 87% via methods based on FQA Units (‘existing quota’ and ‘additional quota’) and 9% via alternative routes. Allocations were last updated by the Marine Management Organisation on 9th September. Figures are rounded and do not sum to 100%.
