One way in which environmental authorities hope to preserve dwindling supplies of fish is through the limitation of fishing rights in certain waters. An example of this can be seen in the Republic of Ireland, where the Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFL), a state body established in 2010, provides advice on the conservation, protection and management of Ireland's waters. In this way, the IFL ensures that the national and local laws are observed within Ireland and a 12 mile sea perimeter. The position in England is, however, different. There is a separation between fishing rights in open water (sea fishing) and fishing rights on non-tidal waters. At sea, anyone can fish from a boat or bank. With non-tidal waters, the owner of the land adjoining the water owns the fishing rights on his/her side if the land. However, these rights can be leased or sold.
