The Sea Fisheries Advisory panel was set up in the 1970s to address fishermen’s concerns about over exploitation, neighbourhood agreements with the French and local conservation issues. From the beginning its membership included professional and amateurs interested in the marine environment.
The panel, now named the Fisheries and Marine Resources panel, to reflect its wider responsibilities, still has amateur as well as professional members. These include representatives from:
the boat owning communities on the north and south coasts
the chairman of the Jersey Aquaculture Association
the president of the Jersey Federation of Sea Anglers
commercial fishermen from the Jersey Fisherman’s Association
The panel is aware that the marine species they seek to conserve do not live in isolation but are part of a complex food and environmental web. The diverse membership of the panel aids this holistic approach to management.
The membership is currently made up of:
W Peggie - Director of Environment/Deputy Chief Officer (Chairman)
Deputy C Labe​y - States of Jersey
D Thompson - Jersey Fisherman's Association
M Taylor - Jersey Aquaculture Association
