North Western IFCA - New Netting Byelaw
What is happening?
PROPOSED BYELAW 7 NETTING BYELAW
North Western IFCA recently made its new Netting Byelaw at its Annual General Meeting on 26th September 2024. Please note, by ‘making’ the byelaw, this means that the Authority’s members have approved it, but it does not mean the byelaw is yet in force. NWIFCA has now opened consultation for anyone who wishes to comment on, or object to, the proposed byelaw. The proposed Byelaw makes provisions for permits to be required for all static nets used within the district, whether for commercial or recreational purposes, and whether set from a vessel or from the shore (i.e. in intertidal areas).
The full Byelaw can be found www.nw-ifca.gov.uk/news/nwifca-netting-byelaw-consultation/. If you wish to respond to the consultation, please do so by email to office@nw-ifca.gov.uk or in writing to NWIFCA, 1 Preston Street, Carnforth, LA5 9BY, by Sunday 17th November 2024.
