Recruitment of Salmon and Inland Fisheries Forum NI members

Tuesday, 30 June 2009

Following the Review of Public Administration, the Fisheries Conservancy Board (FCB) was abolished on 1 June 2009 and its functions and staff have transferred to the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure. The FCB was the recognised representative forum for stakeholders with an interest in the salmon and inland fisheries of Northern Ireland (except in the Loughs Agency area).

The Department of Culture Arts and Leisure is now inviting applications for membership of a new advisory Salmon and Inland Fisheries Forum from the following groups: unaffiliated anglers (anglers who do not belong to the Northern Ireland Angling Advisory Council*); Lough Neagh commercial fishermen; fishery owners; landowners with riparian rights; and fish merchants who are licenced to buy or sell fish.

(*The NIAAC has already been allocated places on the forum)

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate in their application form, and if shortlisted, at interview, the extent to which they are able to satisfy the following criteria:

· Knowledge and Interest in Salmon and Inland Fisheries

· Ability to Review, Analyse and Evaluate

· Working in Partnership
