These Regulations provide rules relative to marine protected areas, i.e. areas declared as such by the Minister by Order under section 23 of the Grenada Fisheries Act, 1986, which may be either a marine park, a marine reserve, a marine sanctuary or a marine historical site or a combination of any of those. The Regulations also: concern the composition of the Management Authority for Marine Protected Areas and the Management Committee for Marine Protected Areas; provide with respect to enforcement; prescribe forms and fees for purposes of the Act; and define offences.
The rules for protected areas concern general prohibitions in Marine Protected Areas and specific rules for each kind of protected area. They provide, among other things, with respect to: taking of any animal or plant by any method on land or at sea; introduction of alien species; access to protected areas; and designation by the management authority within a marine park or marine reserve of zones including fishing zones, in which commercial fishing in accordance with Part V of the Fisheries Regulations and recreational fishing from the shoreline or from piers or jetties or small drifting craft, using light tackle of not more than 30 pounds breaking strain, is permitted.
