1) Name and brief description of the proposed decision Decision' means: • an Assembly proposition • an amendment (or further amendment) to a proposition • for Ministerial duty-bearers, policy under development |
The proposition seeks to amend the Sea Fisheries (Minimum Size Li mits)(Jersey) Regulation 2001 to the update the current minimum size of lobster (Homarus Gammarus). These measures, if approved, will allow for improved management of marine resources in territorial waters. Children do not experience this differently from adults. |
2) Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected? Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children |
There are no specific groups of children or young people affected by this proposition. Children and young people that go fishing (either recreationally or intending to do so commercially in the future) will have to follow the size limits that are in force at the time (current ones in the 2001 Regulations or those proposed in this proposition, if adopted) |
3) What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights? Impacts may be positive or negative, direct or indirect Include whether different groups of children will be affected differently by the decision |
This proposition, which seeks to improve the management of important local stocks, is unlikely to impact on children or on their rights. It could be considered that the objective to appropriate conserve and manage the marine environment is of benefit to all children, outlined in the guiding principles of the UNCRC. |
4) Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required? If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion |
