FIXED AND DRIFT NETS (SALMONID PROTECTION) BYELAW 2021 FORMAL CONSULTATION
MARINE AND COASTAL ACCESS ACT 2009
Notice is hereby given: Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) intends to apply to the Minister for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for the confirmation of the Fixed and Drift Nets (Salmonid Protection) Byelaw 2021.
The Fixed and Drift Nets (Salmonid Protection) Byelaw 2021 has been proposed to provide protection to salmon and sea trout from accidental bycatch in both fixed and drift nets which are used in coastal waters to target sea fish species. The new byelaw will restrict, and in some cases, prohibit the use of fixed and drift nets in specific areas around the Cornish coastline.
See here to view the full text of the new byelaw.
