Welcome
Welcome to the Agency’s website which provides information about the structure of our organisation, our resources and about what we do to assist in the efforts to conserve fish stocks for the benefit of both the fishing industry and the nation as a whole.
You will find that the site contains a number of features, including:
- detailed information about satellite monitoring
- an on-line facility for any member of the public to report – anonymously if you wish – any suspicious fishing activity
- an on-line recruitment form to aid the continuous recruitment for the posts of Fishery Officer and Seaman
- details of all new tendering opportunities, with an open invitation for any yards that may be interested in undertaking refit work for our ships to contact us for more information
- a Photo Gallery, in which we would be happy to publish fishing-related photographs submitted to us by members of the public.
We would welcome any comments that you might have on the content of our website or on any other items that you think we should include. Contact details for submitting any comments/suggestions can be found in the ‘Contact Us’ section.
As you now delve into the website, we trust you find it informative and that you find what you are looking for.
