(25a) As recreational fisheries can have a significant impact on fish resources, the multiannual plan should provide a framework for ensuring that they are conducted in a manner compatible with the objectives of the plan. Member States should collect catch data of recreational fisheries. Where such fisheries have a significant impact on resources, the plan should foresee the possibility to decide on specific management measures.
