What UK Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 (c.84): Size Limits, Gear Regulation and Boat Licensing requires
The Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 (c. 84) is a principal statute for the conservation of sea fish in United Kingdom waters, regulating the size of fish that may be taken, the gear that may be used, and the licensing of fishing boats, administered by the fisheries Ministers and the Marine Management Organisation. Section 1 provides for size limits for fish, making it an offence to land, sell, or have in possession sea fish below the prescribed minimum size, and section 2 provides for size limits for fish used in the course of any business. Section 3 provides for the regulation of nets and other fishing gear, including mesh sizes and prohibited gear. Section 4 provides for the licensing of fishing boats, under which it is an offence to use a British fishing boat for fishing without a licence where one is required. Section 6 prohibits the landing of sea fish caught in certain areas, and section 8 regulates the landing of foreign-caught sea fish. Section 11 sets the penalties for offences, section 12 addresses offences by directors and partners, and section 14 sets the jurisdiction of the court to try offences. The Act is a foundational marine fisheries conservation and licensing regime.
