The purposes of this Act are the promotion of the biological rebalance of fish species, the development of the fish population in internal waters and the regulation of fishing activities within the Molise regional waters. For the purposes of this Act, are considered internal waters public waters, natural and artificial river basins; private waters flowing directly into public waters and brackish waters. The Act provides for fishing licences, for the establishment of protected areas and for the introduction of external fish species into the local fauna. Further are set special provisions for the protection of biological balance and the protection of watercourses. In terms of Article 14 a Regional Fish Card is established which will individuate the regional waters, the type of fish present in the waters and will also be used for the control of fish species introduced in the regional waters. The Act also provides for aquaculture, fishing for sport purposes and for the classification of waters. Under Article 27 are set different types of licences in function of the type of water.
