Abstract

The present Regional Act has been enacted to amend and supplement Regional Act No. 44 of 1985 in matter of fisheries. Article 2 lays down amendments concerning the membership of the Regional Advisory Committee for Fisheries. Further amendments regard mainly the fishing gear and fishing methods which are allowed (art. 3), the granting of the fishing licence and related conditions (arts. 4-6), the minimum size of fishes that may be harvested and the seasons during which fishing is permitted (art. 8). Moreover, article 16 bis is added: it provides for the adoption of the Regional Fishing Calendar by the Regional Council. The Calendar shall provide, inter alia, for the classification of waters and shall define fishing periods as well as those waters where fishing shall be temporarily forbidden. This Act adds also article 16 ter, which makes provision in matter of repopulation zones and protected zones, to be established by the competent Provinces. Further amendments deal with surveillance (art. 11), which is hereinafter entrusted to the Provincial Officers. Article 13 updates the provisions in matter of penalties.
