Creel Marking Order Reminder from Marine Scotland

Creel Marking Order reminder from Marine Scotland.

Marine Scotland is reminding fishers that creels deployed must have one or more marker buoy attached with the vessels’ PLN clearly displayed.  Marker buoys must be specifically designed for the marking of equipment in the water.

Fleets of 10 or more creels must have one or more marker buoy at each end of the fleet. All marker buoys fixed to the same fleet of creels must display the same PLN number.

More information is available on the Scottish Government website or by clicking on the poster below.
