Aquaculture Licensing

The Irish Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1997 obliges any person wishing to engage in aquaculture on land or in a marine area to be licensed.

As part of the licensing process, applicants must advertise intentions and allow interested parties the opportunity to comment and to have those comments duly considered before a licensing decision is made. Therefore, a solid and professional application can speed up the licensing process, avoiding unnecessary costs and delays.
