Title

Teign Cockle Stock Assessment 2019

Abstract

Since 2011 Devon and Severn IFCA has intermittently carried out stock assessments on the public Cockle beds within the Teign Estuary, South Devon. These surveys determine the area where live Cockles are preseant, spatial density and abundance, and the estimated stock (in tonnes). This data informs the Authoritys management of the public stocks.
