In 2015, the Agency began large-scale deregulation: cancellation of 7 permitting documents, which created a basis for corruption;[1] development of the aquaculture and mariculture;[2] prohibition of the industrial fishing in the Dnieper river in Kyiv.
The Agency started the reformation of fish protection authorities, whose quality of work was the reason for public distrust of the department.[3]

On 16 June, the first fisheries protection patrol started its work. During 2016–2017, the Agency announced fishing patrols in other regions of Ukraine.[4][needs update]
