The Sea Fisheries Act (SeeFischG) is the basis of commercial fishing at sea in German law , especially in the exclusive economic zone of the North and Baltic Seas . It also regulates duties and responsibilities for the official monitoring of sea fishing.
In addition to the implementation of international agreements on fishing, the Sea Fisheries Act primarily complies with the Union law provisions on sea fishing resulting from the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) .
With the Seefischereiverordnung (SeefiV) of July 18, 1989 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 1485 ), the legislature made use of the authorization in Section 2 of the SeeFischG. The SeefiV contains details and implementing provisions for the SeeFischG. The SeefiV replaced five implementing ordinances that originally accompanied the Sea Fisheries Contract Act 1971, which immediately preceded the SeeFischG.
The provisions of the Sea Fisheries Act and the Sea Fisheries Ordinance essentially also apply within the German exclusive economic zone to fishing vessels that are not authorized to fly the federal flag .
Sections 16–19 SeeFischG define numerous prohibitions , administrative offenses and criminal offenses that are subject to fines of an unspecified amount and imprisonment of up to one year.
A distinction must be made between the regulatory horizon of the Sea Fisheries Act and the predominantly state legal provisions on coastal fishing , which are made under Article 74 (1) No. 17 of the Basic Law , and which must not undermine the general requirements of the SeeFischG on deep-sea and coastal fishing.
