Whilst information on this site will be kept current, it will slowly be
replaced by the WAG Fisheries Unit  site: http://wales.gov.uk/topics/environmentcountryside/foodandfisheries/fisheries/?lang=en

The intention is then to archive this website so that the historical
information it contains will remain available.
