Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking both domestically and internationally to protect and support sunfish populations.

While not a permanent resident in UK waters, sunfish are known to visit our seas during the summer months to feed. Sunfish are not commercially caught in the UK, and the sale of products derived from them is prohibited under UK legislation. We are taking action to protect and improve the marine environment and are committed to the global target to protect at least 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030.
