The Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Works and Engineering wish to remind the public that all fish waste – offal, wracks, fins and heads – must be disposed of in a conscientious and environmentally responsible manner.
For locally caught fish, options include disposing of the waste directly into the marine environment, which will contribute to the food chain, or freezing it to use as bait or chum on your next fishing trip. Excess fishing bait must be disposed of in the same way.
