Plans for Adequate Designated Public Fishing Zones

Mr Cai Yinzhou asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) how does the Ministry measure whether there are adequate designated fishing zones for the public; (b) whether there are plans to open more designated fishing zones; and (c) whether there are any public consultation in town planning and design to incorporate fishing zones.

The Public Utilities Board does not actively plan for fishing zones, but will assess requests for recreational fishing along waterways and reservoirs, based on safety considerations and with input from relevant land planning agencies.
