Trial Fishing Policy.

This Policy underlines that the trial fishing may only be conducted by trial fishing permit. Trial fishing permits will be issued for a predetermined period, usually for one year. The trial process will be assessed by the National Fisheries Authority to decide whether development should continue or cease. Trail fishing will be monitored to prevent over-exploitation of marine resources, and thereby, access for trial fishing may be limited to avoid over-exploitation, while any aquaculture development or fishing technique is assessed for development potential. Moreover, permit will not be issued for fishing related to fragile resources or endangered species. This Policy lays down strategies for application procedures for permit and its evaluation, permit conditions, and monitoring and assessment.
