At a meeting with the Southern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) at their, Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), it was decided to approve the advancement of the W2R application for £19,500.00 to purchase 12,000 juvenile lobsters from the National Lobster Hatchery to seed our purpose built reef.
In addition to this, it was agreed to include a lobster tagging trial by National Oceanography Centre (NOC) to be run in parallel with the re-stocking. Both N.O.C and W2R were asked to produce further information prior to the full IFCA meeting in March when a funding decision will be made.
