SEA FISHERIES REGULATION(S) ACT 1895 - SECT 10

Restriction as to beam trawling and otter trawling.

10.(1) The Fishery Board may, by byelaw or byelaws, direct that the methods of
fishing known as beam trawling and otter trawling shall not be used in any
area or areas under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty, within thirteen miles of
the Scottish coast, to be defined in such byelaw, and may from time to time
make, alter, and revoke byelaws for the purposes of this section. Provided
that the powers conferred in this section shall not be exercised in respect to
any areas under Her Majesty's jurisdiction lying opposite to any part of the
coasts of England, Ireland, or the Isle of Man, within thirteen miles thereof.

(2) No byelaw under this section shall be [made] by the Secretary for Scotland
until he shall have directed a local inquiry to be held in the district
adjoining the part of the sea to be included in the byelaw; at which inquiry
all persons interested shall be heard, whether resident in the district or
not; and notice of such inquiry shall be sent to all committees of sea fishery
districts in the United Kingdom.

(3) Provided that no area of sea within the said limit of thirteen miles shall
be deemed to be under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty for the purposes of this
section unless the powers conferred thereby shall have been accepted as
binding upon their own subjects with respect to such area by all the States
signatories of the North Sea Convention, 1882.
