Article 3 of this Order provides for a closed season in respect of scallop fishing in Wales during the period from 1 November 2009 to 28 February 2010.
Article 4 sets out the powers of British sea-fishery officers in respect of this Order, in addition to their powers under the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967 (“the Act”).
