Declarations
Loughs Agency holds the authority to issue declarations under regulations for the conservation and protection of the Foyle and Carlingford fisheries. These declarations, addressing various issues outlined in statutory instruments, empower the agency to respond dynamically to risks, implementing measures like fishery closures, fishing bans, restricted opening times, and specified methods for taking fish. To ensure transparency and compliance, Loughs Agency issues these declarations to the local press and publishes on its website in accordance with legislative requirements.
