Sea Fish Licensing Order (Northern Ireland) 2019 (S.R. No. 61 of 2019). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision Northern Ireland Document type Regulation Date 2019 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Fisheries Keyword Marine fisheries Fishery management and conservation Foreign fishing Legal proceedings/administrative proceedings Fishing authorization Authorization/permit Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Abstract This Order makes provision about the licensing of fishing boats from outside the UK when fishing in the Northern Ireland zone. It requires foreign fishing boats fishing in the Northern Ireland zone to have a licence. “Foreign fishing boat” means a fishing boat that— (a) is not registered in the United Kingdom under Part 2 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995; (b) is not registered under the law of Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man; and (c) is not British-owned. The Order also requires non-British-owned boats registered in the Crown Dependencies that are fishing within the Northern Ireland zone to have a licence. The requirement does not apply to fishing boats registered in the Crown Dependencies which are British-owned as these are already required to be licenced under the Sea Fish Licensing Order 1992. Licences shall be granted by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.
