This Order confers on the Shetland Shellfish Management Organisation (“the Organisation”) the right of regulating a fishery for oysters, mussels, cockles, clams, lobsters, scallops, queens, crabs, whelks and razorshells (“the prescribed species”, defined in article 2) on the bed of the sea adjacent to the Shetland Islands for a period of 15 years until 31st January 2028 (article 3).
The situation and extent of the area within which the right is conferred is illustrated on the map which is described in article 2. A representation of the map, for illustrative purposes only, is appended to this Note.

Under article 5 it is prohibited to dredge, fish for or take any of the prescribed species without a licence from the Organisation.
