Articles 2 and 5
1. A triangular area near Bourne Gap buoy in Stanswood Bay, Hampshire which is bounded by the south-eastern limit of the area to which the 1973 Order applies, the south-western limit of the area to which the Calshot Oyster Fishery Order 1982(4) applies and in the south by a line drawn from Hill Head to Stansore Point Beacon, and which is coloured red on the map described in paragraph 3 of this Schedule.
2. The area of Stanswood Bay, Hampshire, between lowest astronomical tide on the Hampshire coast and the north-western limit of the area to which the 1973 Order applies, being the area stippled in blue on the map described in paragraph 3 of this Schedule.
3. The map to which reference is made in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Schedule is the definitive map sealed in duplicate by the Minister and marked "Map referred to in the Stanswood Bay Oyster Fishery Order 1988", one copy of which is in the possession of the company, and the other copy of which is in the possession of the Minister.
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confers on Stanswood Bay Oystermen Limited ("the company") the right of several fishery for oysters in parts of Stanswood Bay, Hampshire, which are adjacent to the area in which a similar right was conferred on the company by the Stanswood Bay Oyster Fishery Order 1973 ("the 1973 Order"). This Order thus has the effect of enlarging the area in respect of which the company has the right of several fishery for oysters.
The Order requires the company (or such other person as is for the time being entitled to the right of several fishery conferred by the Order) to mark the limits of the enlarged area; and to permit authorised persons to take samples of shellfish for the purpose of disease control and to refrain from depositing oysters of the species Ostrea edulis without the written consent of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. In part of the new area the prior approval in writing of Associated British Ports is required before the right conferred by the Order may be exercised. The Order introduces a requirement for annual accounts of income and expenditure to be submitted to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Certain consequential amendments are made to the 1973 Order.
The new parts of the fishery are shown on the definitive map sealed in duplicate by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, which may be inspected during office hours at the Fisheries Department, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Great Westminster House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AE or at the offices of the grantee at 37 Hocombe Drive, Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh, Hampshire SO5 1QE.
The right conferred by this Order, like the right conferred by the 1973 Order, expires on 1st June 1995.
1967 c. 83; section 1 was amended by section 15(2) of the Sea Fisheries Act 1968 (c. 77) and paragraph 15 of Schedule 2 to the Fishery Limits Act 1976 (c. 86) and is to be read with section 15(3) to (5) of the Sea Fisheries Act 1968; Schedule 1 was amended by section 15(7) of the Sea Fisheries Act 1968.
