Section 111 Methods of killing or taking seals under seal licenceI1

A seal licence must specify the method which the licensee must use to kill or take seals.

The Scottish Ministers must not grant a seal licence authorising a person to kill seals by shooting unless they are satisfied that the person has adequate skills and experience in using firearms.

A seal licence must not authorise a person to do anything which would contravene regulation 41 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations. This subsection does not restrict the things for which a licence may be granted under regulation 44 of those Regulations.
