Gear Avoidance and Relocation

Depending on the nature and timing of planned operations, it may be possible to manage activities whilst avoiding impacts of fishing gears and our dedicated onshore and offshore liaison officers can ensure that fishing gear is avoided.

In other instances, it may be necessary for fishing gears to be relocated where costs are involved and knock-on effects of relocating gears in other areas need consideration.  Again, good planning using our liaison services can help to ensure cooperation and minimise the potential for disruption to both parties.
