CEFAS Research Vessel to fish in an area of the Skerries - Message from Keith Bower, Fisheries Officer - Devon Sea Fisheries.
Please be advised that the CEFAS research vessel CEFAS ENDEAVOUR will be working in the Western Approaches between the dates of 17th & 31st March 2008.
During this time she will be operating very close inshore and will be undertaking two or three short tows with beam trawls in the Start Bay area.
You may recall we had some excitement previously with anglers complaining about a similar operation as they had not been forewarned. If you would be kind enough please to pass the word to the angling fraternity it would be appreciated.
