Public Consultation on the Inshore Fishing (Prohibition of Fishing and Fishing Methods) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland)
This public consultation exercise ran from 6th July 2007 to 5th October 2007.
The Regulations amend the Inshore Fishing (Prohibition of Fishing and Fishing Methods) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 by extending the current ban on fishing by suction dredges in Strangford Lough and Dundrum Inner Bay to all Northern Ireland waters and by introducing a prohibition on dredging for sea fish and extending the prohibition on the use of seine and trawl nets in Belfast Lough westward to an imaginary straight line drawn from Carrickfergus Castle in Co Antrim to Grey Point in County Down.
