APPLICATIONS FOR FISH FARMING CLOCE ON MONDAY
APPLICATIONS BY MARINE FISH FARMERS FOR LICENCES TO OPERATE IN THE DESIGNATED FISH CULTURE ZONES WILL CLOSE ON MONDAY (AUGUST 9).
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY THAT LIC ̃NCES WOULD DE GRANTED TO ALL ARINE FISH FARMERS WHOSE OPERATIONS WERE SURVEYED BY THE DEPARTMENT IN APRIL AND MAY THIS YEAR.
*ONLY THOSE ISSUED WITH A SURVEY CHIT WILL INITIALLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR ALLOCATION OF SITES WITHIN THE ZONES. AND ONLY AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED SITES WILL APPLICANTS WITH NEW OPERATIONS OR NEW EXTENSIONS BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY REMAINING SITES, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
UNDER THE MARINE FISH CULTURE ORDINANCE - WHICH BECAME FULLY EFFECTIVE LAST MONTH — 24 AREAS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AS MARINE FISH CULTURE ZONES. FISH FARMERS WISHING TO CONTINUE THEIR OPERATIONS WITHIN THE ZONES ARE REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED BY THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT. MARINE FISH CULTURE OUTSIDE THE ZONES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT AS IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME FOR ALL THE SURVEYED FISH FARMERS TO BE GRANTED LICENCES, TO BE ALLOCATED SITES WITHIN THE ZONES AND TO MOVE INTO THE SITES, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED A GRACE PERIOD OF UP TO NINE MONTHS (TO APRIL 8, 1983) TO ENABLE THE FARMERS TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDINANCE. AFTER THE APRIL 1983 DEADLINE ANY MARINE FISH FARMERS FOUND DEFYING THE ORDINANCE WILL BE LIABLE TO PROSECUTION.
APPLICATION FORMS FOR LICENCES ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS AT 393 CANTON ROAD, KOWLOON, ITS FISHERIES OFFICES AND FISH MARKETING ORGANISATION LIAISON OFFICES.
