Section 4(2)(a) of the Fishery Harbour Centres Act, 1968 provides a legal basis for the making of bye laws for the purposes of the management, control, operation and development of the Fishery Harbour Centres.  The Fishery Harbour Centres (Management, Control, Operation and Development) Bye-Laws 1979, made under this provision, empower the Harbour Master to ensure the good management and operation of all activities including the safe navigation of all vessels using the Fishery Harbour Centres.  All harbour users should follow the direction of the Harbour Master to ensure the safe functioning of the Harbour.
