Abstract

This Order prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, all methods of fishing within certain areas of the Firth of Clyde. A map showing the areas closed to fishing under this Order is appended to this note for illustrative purposes only. The prohibition does not apply to vessels fishing within the closed areas exclusively with creels, scallop dredges and, trawls used for fishing for Norway lobsters (art. 3(2) and (3)). The Order gives British sea fishery officers powers to enforce the Order, including power to detain a vessel in port (art. 4). In terms of section 5(1) or (6) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 it is an offence to fish contrary to the prohibition contained in the Order.
