What does the bill do?
The bill adds a definition of trawl fishing to the Fisheries Ordinance (dragging a net by a vessel) and sets a direct prohibition on this fishing method. The amendment applies to anyone who fishes this way and harms fish (some of them young and small), marine animals, underwater infrastructure and underwater antiquities. The bill also applies to trawl fishing the same punishment applied to other prohibited fishing methods under the Ordinance.
