2022/2023 Permitted Scallop Dredge Fishery

Commencement of the 2022/2023 Permitted Scallop Dredge Fishery

Please note that the 2022/2023 permitted scallop dredging fishery will commence on Tuesday 1 November 2022.

Permit holders are only permitted to fish within two designated zones which are highlighted within the attached notice (follow link below).

These are longstanding areas and are well known to all local fishing operators. We would ask that everyone who actively fishes within the designated zones does so with mutual respect and courtesy providing space to fish, alongside actively communicating where any static gear is located.

Whilst it is considered that every effort will be made by the permit holders to avoid damaging static gear any operator choosing to set such within the boundaries of the two designated fishing zones, does so at his or her own risk.
