-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Farming of fish and shellfish in the waters around Jersey has grown and now some 1000 tons of shellfish are produced annually. The authority to designate areas of the beach or sea bed for this activity rests with the Sea Fisheries (Fisheries) (Jersey) Regulations 2010, which empower the Minister to issue a licence for a particular fishery under the terms of the Regulation and to attach further conditions to the licence.

'The licence is normally issued for a period of 6 years and if there have been no objections to the concession and the Department is content with the way the operation has been conducted the licence will, on application, be renewed.

'If an application set before the Minister for determination under Regulation 4 is for a new concession or an existing concession with some changes within it then such an application continues to be agreed by the Minister; however, if the renewal application is for a licence which is the same in every way to the previous licence, the Minister delegates  the  power  of  this  renewal  to  the  Chief  Officer  of  the  Planning  and Environment Department, the Director of Environment or the Head of Fisheries and Marine Resources.
