Entry into force notes

This Order entered into force on 24 December 2004.

Resumen

This Order applies to British fishing boats and prohibit fishing using specified pair trawls in the south-west territorial waters of England (art. 3). Pair trawling is a method of fishing by two or more vessels, carried out by a net or a combination of nets (art. 2(1)). The carriage of pair trawling nets within the south-west territorial sea is prohibited unless all parts of the relevant gear are lashed and stowed (art. 4). If any boat contravenes any prohibition under this Order, the master, owner and charterer is guilty of an offence and is liable to a fine (section 11(1)(a) and (b) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967). The court may also order forfeiture of fish, nets or other fishing gear (sect. 11(2)-(3) of the 1967 Act). The Order confers powers of enforcement on British sea fishery officers for the purposes of enforcing this Order. These powers may be exercised in relation to any British fishing boat within relevant British fishery limits, and in relation to a relevant British fishing boat wherever it may be (art. 5).
