South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee 11th December, 1974

This is the report from the South Lancashire Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 11th December 1974. The report looks at information on the Water Bailiffs establishment, including the organisation and the duties of both the Fisheries Inspector and the Senior Bailiff. It also covers the comments from the Regional Fisheries Officer on the report on 'Coarse Fisheries', and information on the discharge to the River Ribble from Clitheroe sewage works. Item number 7 looks at the report by the Unit Fisheries Officer on fisheries activities. This looks at coarse fish salvage and stocking, fisheries management, poaching, fish mortalities, and the fish monitoring figures for areas on the Rivers Ribble and Hodder. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
