I have been looking into this and it seems as if it is being commissioned by Natural england (English Nature) have e emialed them to see what it is about so far no answer, would advise anglers not to fil it in as the information could be used by Natural engalnd against you.

Have been asked what Q I put to them, here they are

Hi
I would like some information regarding the survey being carried out by CEFAS at the behest of Natural England, I did e mail NE last week but they have declined to answer so far.

Could you please tell me exactly what the information collected from the survey will be used for.

Will it be used by NE to secure bait digging or sea angling bans within the MCZ's

Will it be used to limit the numbers bait digging/sea angling within the MCZ'S

Will it be used to limit the number and size of species of fish caught

Will it be used to ban the catching of certain species within the MCZ's

Would it be used to try and introduce a Licence through the back door

What if any restrictions will this information be used for.
