Fisheries Act 1996

Observer programme

226: Food and accommodation to be provided for observers

You could also call this:

"Look after observers on your boat with food and a place to stay"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You must provide food and accommodation to observers on your vessel. This includes access to cooking and toilet facilities. You must provide these things free of charge and to a good standard. If you do not provide these things, you can commit an offence. You can be liable to a penalty, which is set out in section 252(5). This penalty applies if you break the rules or do not comply with them. You have to follow these rules if you are the owner, master, or operator of a vessel, or a licence holder. This applies when an observer is on your vessel under this Part. You must make sure the observer has what they need.
