Abstract

This Order amends the existing regulatory regime governing fishing in Scottish inshore waters for sea fish other than salmon and migratory trout. The Order: (a) prohibits fishing for such sea fish with mobile gear (including a suction dredge), subject to specified exceptions, in specified sea areas at certain times of the year (arts. 3 and 4 and Schedule 1); (b) prohibits creel fishing around the Flannan Isles and an area off the north west coast of Lewis at specified times of the year (art. 5 and Schedule 2); (c) prohibits in relation to the Firths of Clyde and Forth fishing for any such sea fish other than herring, mackerel and sprats by fishing boats exceeding 70 feet in length in the Firth of Clyde, and 55 feet in length in the Firth of Forth, throughout the year (arts. 6 and 7 and Schedule 3); and (d) prohibits fishing for lobsters in Scapa Flow between 1 April and 30 September in each year (art. 8). There is an exception from the prohibitions where fishing for sea fish is conducted for the purpose of scientific investigation (art. 9). Contravention of the Order is an offence under section 4 of the Inshore Fishing (Scotland) Act 1984.
