These Regulations make provision for the establishment and administration of beach management units. The Director of Fisheries shall facilitate the establishment of beach management units for each fish landing station, which are established by the Director in accordance with the provisions of the Fisheries Act. The objectives of a beach management unit shall include the strengthening of management of fish-landing stations, fishery resources and the aquatic environment; the support of sustainable development of the fisheries sector; ensuring the achievement of high quality standards with regard so fish and fishery products; and the prevention or reduction of conflicts in the fisheries sector. For the purpose of ensuring safety of fish and fishery products, a specific area of the fish landing station shall be delineated, marked and assigned for the exclusive purposes of landing and selling fish and fishery products.
The Regulations also require the authorized fisheries officer to draft plans setting fisheries management and conservation measures in case fisheries or areas in which fishing is undertaken by the members of more than one beach management unit.
