EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations amend Schedule 3 of S.I. No. 268 of 2006 and designate a further 49 Shellfish Water Sites. The purpose of these designations is to protect or improve the quality of the waters at the sites in question in order to support shellfish (bivalve and gasteropod molluscs) life and growth, thereby contributing to the high quality of shellfish products directly edible by man.
