There are no vacancies on the board at present. Section 61 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 sets down the matters of which the board shall take account in determining an appeal against a decision on an application for a licence or a revocation or amendment of a licence. There are no proposals at present to amend this provision of the Act.
