Professional fishing vessel owners: updated census of authorised vessels in the Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas marine reserve

The General Secretariat for Fisheries has published the updated census of vessels authorised to carry out professional sea fishing in the Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas (Primero) marine reserve. A maximum limit of eleven authorised vessels is maintained (Tercero). The resolution is effective from its publication until 31 December 2027, with automatic extension (Segundo).

In 3 key points

  1. Maximum limit of eleven authorised vessels in the census (Tercero). (Tercero)
  2. Effective from publication until 31 December 2027 (Segundo). (Segundo)
  3. One year of inactivity without justified cause may result in permanent removal (Quinto). (Quinto)

Those who do not carry out the activity for one year without justified cause risk being removed from the census (Quinto). Vessels excluded due to regulatory non-compliance must wait one year to apply for new authorisation, which is subject to the availability of vacancies (Sexto).
