Working on UK fishing vessels: the legal framework and support for fishers. November 2017.
There is a fundamental requisite to monitor the welfare of the fishing crews working on UK vessels in UK waters, as well as globally. This document highlights the key UK and global legislation that is helping now, or will help in the future, to ensure fishers have minimum standards and decent conditions of work on board fishing vessels. It also details: the health and safety requirements for all those working on UK fishing vessels; the voluntary initiatives in place to help improve the conditions on board fishing vessels for all commercial fishers; the international guidelines that support basic human and labour rights principles across the whole fisheries sector; and the appropriate authorities, organisations and charities who are working to support the industry, and improve governance, safety and welfare within UK fishing. This document updates the December 2014 document entitled 'The legal framework for working on UK fishing vessels' and the October 2016 document 'Working on UK fishing vessels: the legal framework and support for fishers. -

B40_UK Legislative Status for Abalone Culture
South West Abalone Growers Association (SWAGA) aims to promote the sustainable development of abalone culture in the South West of the UK. In 2003 SWAGA undertook a FIFG Networking Project (FitzGerald 2003) to establish the limitations to the development of the industry of which legislative barriers were a significant feature.This legislative review has been produced as a guidance document for potential operators. Although it signposts the major legislative issues it is not exhaustive and prospective operators will need to establish site specific issues and requirements. It is also notable that there is considerable movement at present in a number of legislative areas and that any opinions provided in this report will be subject to change as interpretations evolve and regulations are updated. -
Cornish Beam Trawl Diversification Project_IPF C071
With continued rising cost for fuel and no indications of prices falling back again the South West Beam trawl are looking for alternative fishing methods to target monkfish and megrims on their traditional fishing grounds. In Scottish waters many vessels target the same species using twin rig otter trawls. This project was set up to charter one of the Scottish vessels to fish the SW ground using twin rig to see if this would be a viable alternative for the SW fleet. The landings of the twin rig vessel were much less than local beam trawlers but much time was lost in exploring the beam trawl grounds for their suitability for towing with twin rig otter trawls. Despite this the catch rate for the time spent actually fishing indicates that twin rig could be a viable option in the SW. The catch profile of the twin rig is different to that of a beam trawler. Twin rig trawlers catch more higher swimming fish than beam trawlers. More knowledge of the stocks of these fish in the SW is needed to allow for otter trawling being financially viable. The discard rates recorded during the trials are not representative of discard rates for otter trawls in the area. The standard twin rig setup may need altering to better suit the SW fishing grounds and the fish species on them. -

SR690 Potential Implications of the Landing Obligation on onshore seafood supply chains in the UK.
The aim of the work is to analyse the impact of the landing obligation in a whole supply chain context, and from financial, legal, operational and market perspectives. This project will:- •Map the UK supply chain and identify existing and perceived issues for each sector. •Assess the impact of issues in respect of changes in policy •Discuss potential consequences for each sector; for example, changes in operational behaviour, policy issues, loss of supply or loss of market. •Identify gaps in information and suggest better use of existing information. The analyses will be mainly qualitative. -
Appraisal of Marine Environmental Regulatory Developments
This paper concerns the current position of marine environmental legislation in the UK. There is, of course, a large amount of legislation in the marine area, but much of this is irrelevant to the scope of this paper. The concern here is the marine environment so legislation relating to transport, fishing etc will not be covered. Also when talking about the environment there is a large amount of legislation in the marine area about pollution. This is not covered in any depth either because this is not a concern to the industry. The focus here then is the rapidly increasing amount of legislation which does impact and has the potential to impact on the industry. This includes protection of wildlife, habitats and biodiversity, the proposals for marine spatial planning, coastal zone management and environmental liability and assessments. -
SIPF D123_Future Management of Brown Crab in UK and Ireland
This study (SIPF Project D123) looks at the merits of the various tools and systems used elsewhere to manage sectors involved with Brown Crab fisheries, such as; access restrictions, pot limitations, shellfish licences and permits, quotas and TACs, Minimum Landing Sizes and gear technology, and considers their utility in managing Brown Crab stocks in UK and Ireland.
