(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Order made by the Board of Trade on 5th May 1890 which created the Kent and Essex Sea Fisheries District.

The Sea Fisheries District is extended to include the River Thames from the Yantlet line upstream to the Mucking Creek line (article 2).

The Order provides that the powers of the Port of London Authority with respect to fish shall be excluded from the part of the river which is included in the Sea Fisheries District by virtue of article 2 (article 3).

The Order confers on the National Rivers Authority the powers of a local sea fisheries committee in respect of the rivers and streams above the lines beyond which the Sea Fisheries District does not extend (article 4).
