# The Stanswood Bay Oyster Fishery Order 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confers on Stanswood Bay Oystermen Limited (“the company”) the right of several fishery for oysters in parts of Stanswood Bay, Hampshire, which are adjacent to the area in which a similar right was conferred on the company by the Stanswood Bay Oyster Fishery Order 1973 (“the 1973 Order”). This Order thus has the effect of enlarging the area in respect of which the company has the right of several fishery for oysters.
The Order requires the company (or such other person as is for the time being entitled to the right of several fishery conferred by the Order) to mark the limits of the enlarged area; and to permit authorised persons to take samples of shellfish for the purpose of disease control and to refrain from depositing oysters of the species Ostrea edulis without the written consent of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. In part of the new area the prior approval in writing of Associated British Ports is required before the right conferred by the Order may be exercised. The Order introduces a requirement for annual accounts of income and expenditure to be submitted to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Certain consequential amendments are made to the 1973 Order.
The new parts of the fishery are shown on the definitive map sealed in duplicate by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, which may be inspected during office hours at the Fisheries Department, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Great Westminster House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AE or at the offices of the grantee at 37 Hocombe Drive, Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh, Hampshire SO5 1QE.
The right conferred by this Order, like the right conferred by the 1973 Order, expires on 1st June 1995.
