## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies the Shetland Islands Regulated Fishery (Scotland) Order 1999 (“the principal Order”) by amending the description of “the fishery” (article 2(2)(a)) and substituting the definition of “the relevant map” referred to in the principal Order with the map referred to in this Order (article 2(2)(b)). A copy of the map is held by the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department, Pentland House, 47 Robb’s Loan, Edinburgh, EH14 1TW and by the Shetland Shellfish Management Organisation (“the organisation”) at Shetland Seafood Centre, Stewart Building, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0LL. A representation of the map for illustrative purposes only is appended to this Note.
The effect of the variation is to remove the rights of the Organisation to regulate a fishery under the principal Order in relation to the area in respect of which a right of several fishery is conferred by the Ura Firth, Shetland Scallops Several Fishery Order 2004.
The Order also varies the principal Order by correcting an incorrect reference to an article number (article 2(3)).
