Commentary on provisions of Act Schedule 3: Sea fishing licences: Further provision Power to attach conditions to sea fishing licence
Sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 1 confers a power on a sea fish licensing authority to attach such conditions to a licence as appear to it to be necessary or expedient for the regulation of sea fishing. The conditions may include conditions which do not relate directly to sea fishing.
	Sub-paragraph (2) lists particular conditions which may be attached to a licence, and includes (but is not limited to) conditions as to landing fish, restricting the time fishing boats may spend at sea and conditions aimed at preserving the marine and aquatic environment. Sub-paragraph (3) states that conditions in relation to time spent at sea may include the circumstances in which time is, or is not, to be counted for this purpose.
	Sub-paragraph (4) would make it an offence to break a condition of a licence, and in these circumstances the master, the owner and the charterer of the fishing boat are each guilty of an offence. Sub-paragraph (5) refers to the offence provisions in sections 19 to 21.
