....... proposals were made to add to the current boat fishing restrictions which themselves get flouted, by bringing in a total boat and shore angling ban throughout the entire nursery area. This as I understand it is the first total ban of it's kind in the country, so all eyes are on the proceedings. Anyway, things are now at the stage where the required bye-law has been drafted and approved by the governments Marine Management Organisation (MMO) who are my boss. The statutory impact statement is also complete. The next step is to advertise the bye-law proposal for a two week period followed by a one month consultation period to consider the views this might draw in, plus stakeholder views, after which the MMO & IFCA finalise whatever decisions are taken and the bye-law then gets ratified.
