Sea Fish Licensing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2012 (No. X of 2012).

This Law regulates fishing in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It provides with respect of licensing of fishing for any sea fish within Bailiwick fishery limits by British fishing boats by the States of Guernsey Commerce and Employment Department and grants powers of enforcement to British sea-fishery officers. It also grants regulation-making powers to the Department. The Law sets out the requirements and procedures for granting of a licence and provides that a licence may authorise fishing unconditionally or subject to such conditions as may appear to the Department to be necessary or expedient for the regulation of sea fishing. The conditions subject to which a licence may be granted include conditions imposed for the purposes of - (a) conserving or enhancing the natural beauty or amenity of marine or coastal areas (including their geological or physiographical features) or of any features of archaeological or historic interest in such areas, or (b) conserving flora or fauna which are dependent on, or associated with, a marine or coastal environment.
For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Law a British sea-fishery officer may exercise the powers in relation to - (a) any British fishing boat within Bailiwick fishery limits, (b) any British fishing boat registered in the Bailiwick anywhere outside those limits.
