Administrative / biographical background

Principal legislation to support the various Fisheries Divisions are the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries Act 1903, Sea Fisheries Act 1962 and the Sea Fish Industry Act 1970. A divisional organisation first emerged in the Department in 1957 with the Fisheries Department being divided into a number of different divisions; Enforcement being the responsibility of Division III Over the years further restructuring of the divisions occurred and by 1994 the number of fisheries Divisions had again been expanded to four, with Division IV administering the UK fishing quota, licensing of vessels and enforcement policy. Responsibility now rests with the DEFRA Marine and Fisheries Programme.
