Master convicted of illegal fishing activities
The master of the 'Rio Da Bouza' has been convicted of illegal fishing activities after pleading guilty at Macroom District Court on Sep 11, 2024. The vessel was detained at Castletownbere on Sep 9 following an inspection by Sea-Fisheries Protection Officers from the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA). During the court hearing, evidence was presented showing that the officers detected several infringements, including the under-recording of sole and monkfish, failure to separately stow these species, and the unauthorised freezing of fish. The master of the Rio Da Bouza pleaded guilty to all six charges and was fined €3,000 for under-recording sole, with the remaining charges taken into consideration by the judge.
