(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order varies the Thames Estuary Cockle Fishery (No. 2) Order 2024 (“the 2024 Order”). The 2024 Order granted the Kent and Essex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority a right of regulating the cockle fishery over the estuary of the River Thames for a period of 28 years.

This Order varies the restriction in article 5(12) of the 2024 Order concerning eligibility for a licence to dredge, fish for or take cockles within the regulated fishery.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
