Fishing vessel detained by protection ship

Jun 23, 2023 12:59

A French-registered fishing vessel has been detained by the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for alleged non-compliance with European fisheries legislation on June 21, 2023, a day after an inspection was conducted from the 'Ocean Protector' following a risk-based approach that focused on gear and fishing area, not by the registered flag of the vessel. The fishing vessel was found to be fishing using gillnets and was allegedly not using any acoustic deterrent devices on over 15,000 metres of fishing gear. Gillnets are made of monofilament nylon mesh that is invisible underwater and therefore acts as a hazard to cetaceans and other marine mammals. By utilising the acoustic deterrents or “pingers” to emit a certain frequency at regular intervals, cetaceans such as dolphins which are at risk of entanglement and drowning in the gear are given a warning. The SFPA has been using enhanced technologies both at sea and ashore to verify compliance with the requirements for such gear to have acoustic deterrents. The “pingers” have to be attached at a minimum of 200-metre intervals (when digital devices are being used) or 100-metre intervals if analogue devices are in use, it says. These devices are required on any bottom-set gillnet or entangling net for vessels over 12m in certain sea areas. The detained vessel was escorted to Castletownbere, where it was handed over to An Garda Siochana and SFPA officers for further assessment and investigation. The master of the vessel were scheduled to appear in court in the evening of June 21
