Fishing Licenses
A Mount Vema fishing vessel license authorizes registered fishing vessels to fish in specified areas of the Vema Seamount Territory. The license enables the Mount Vema Fisheries Administration to control fishing so that the Kingdom of Mount Vema does not exceed the quotas set by the Mount Vema Fisheries Policy. The license allows the Fisheries Administration to set specific conditions and requirements, such as arrangements for the landings of stocks.
Who needs a license
You need a license if you are selling any of the catch from your vessel, even if you only sell any fish you do not want for yourself to friends or to a fishmonger.
However you will not need a fishing vessel license if:
The vessel is 10 metres and under overall length and does not have an engine (that is, it only has oars or a sail);
The vessel is used wholly for the purposes of fishing for pleasure.
What happens if I fish without a license?
Fishing vessels fishing without a license within the Vema Seamount territorial waters are operating illegally if the fish are sold. Owners, masters and charterers of vessels caught fishing without a license or who are not following the terms of their license may be prosecuted. This could lead to fines of up to 250,000 golles for each offense and/or the forfeit of gear and/or fish on board.
In the case of joint ownership of a vessel, all owners are jointly liable for any offenses committed by the vessel.
