Fisheries Bill [HL]

Moved by

Lord Krebs

3: Clause 1, page 2, line 17, leave out subsection (6) and insert—

“(6) The “bycatch objective” is to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality in support of sustainably managing fisheries, and supporting and conserving protected species.”

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment ensures that the bycatch objective focuses on the outcomes rather than on the processes that might lead to the outcomes. It also brings the objective into line with practices in other jurisdictions.
