I have received the following from Robert Clark, Chief Executive of the SIFCA (as a member of the RASG) at 17:45 today: Recreational Limit on seabass The European Commission has considered a proposal for a Council Resolution amending Regulation (EU) 2018/120 as regards fishing opportunities for European seabass. The proposal is to introduce a daily bag limit of one fish per day for recreational fishermen applicable in October – December 2018 amending the current restriction. Once that amendment has been published in the official journal the regulation will apply directly. Once published Southern IFCA shall raise awareness of the regulation change. I am advised that the MMO will also update their website. The proposal is as a consequence of new evidence revising down the estimate of bass mortality associated with recreational fishing (as we discussed at our recent meeting) and also because of the socio and economic importance of the species to bass anglers. A positive development! As far as I can see, the document that has been linked to is, as it says on it's title page, the proposal, and not the Official Journal. Sent from my SM-J530F using Tapatalk
