Grenada Fisheries Act, 1986 (Cap. 108).

This Act provides for the development and management of fisheries in the fishery waters of Grenada. It consists of 46 sections divided into five Parts. Preliminary (I); Fisheries Management and Development (II); Marine Protected Areas and Conservation Measures (III); Enforcement (IV); General (V).
"Fishery waters" in this Act shall comprises the waters of the territorial sea and of the exclusive economic zone, and the internal waters and the archipelagic waters, as defined in the Territorial Sea and Maritime Boundaries Act and any other waters over which Grenada claims fisheries jurisdiction. "Fishing" includes the searching for fish. The Minister shall take such measures as (s)he thinks fit to promote the management and development of fisheries and may appoint a Chief Fisheries Officer and such other Fishery Officers as may be necessary. The Minister may also appoint a Fisheries Advisory Committee to advise on the management and development of fisheries. The Chief Fisheries Officer shall prepare and keep under review a plan for the management and development of fisheries in the fishery waters. The Act also provides for fishery access agreements and makes provision for foreign fishing licences and for local fishing licences. The remaining provisions of Part II regulate fishing licences in general. The Minister may, by Order published in the Gazette, declare any area of fishery waters to be a fishing priority area and may declare Marine Protected Areas. The Minister may also designate an area as a local fisheries management area. The Government may lease land including areas of the foreshore and sea-bed for the purposes of aquaculture. The Act also prohibits certain methods of fishing.
