Written Answers. - Salmon Driftnetting Season.

Austin Deasy

Question:

22 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for the Marine if he will allow the salmon season for drift net fishermen on the south coast to be extended to include the month of August. [11275/97]

I will not be considering any possible extension of the salmon season for driftnetting on the south coast to include the month of August unless and until a salmon quota and tagging regime is in place. As part of the second phase of implementation of new salmon management strategies, an assessment of the Salmon Management Task Force proposals for a national catch quota regime is currently being progressed by the Marine Institute.
