Résumé

This Ordinance introduces protection for certain wildlife on Ascension and in Ascension waters. It specifies in the Schedule prohibited wildlife products, which require a licence before they may be taken or otherwise handled lawfully. It also prescribes a penalty for the unlawful taking, damage or destruction of prohibited wildlife. The Administrator shall have the powers to establish closed seasons for particular species or prohibited areas and to prescribe prohibited means of taking wildlife. The Administrator may, and if so directed by the Governor shall, by Order declare— (a) any area of the fishing limits to be a prohibited area— (i) for the taking of any particular species or all species of wildlife products (including a shark species); (ii) for the taking of any particular species or all species of wildlife products by particular means; (b) any period to be a closed season for any particular species of wildlife product, either generally or in any particular area or areas of the fishing limits.
