Temporary Closure of Shellfish Fisheries: Wash Restricted Area

The Authority has implemented a temporary closure of the Wash to cockle and mussel fishing as part of its interim measures, to manage these fisheries pending confirmation of the Byelaw. The closure is in place over the areas previously covered by WFO and Wash Restricted Area. More information can be found here.

The ‘Wash Restricted Area’ means the area that was managed under the Emergency Byelaw the ‘Wash Restricted Area Byelaw’. That area is set out in the link below.
