The Decree lays down specific rules and catch quotas for purse seining, trawl groups and coastal vessels groups and prescribes conditions that apply to all fishery activities to which this Decree applies. These conditions concern, among other things, inspections, reporting, bycatch, transshipment of catch and restrictions on fishing.
