Fisheries Conservancy Board

Under the Fisheries Act (Northern Ireland) 1966 (the Act), the FCB is responsible for the conservation and protection of the salmon and inland fisheries in Northern Ireland, other than those in the Londonderry and Newry areas which are the responsibility of the Loughs Agency of the Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commision.  The Board exercises the functions conferred upon it by the Act to meet its responsibilities.

The functions of the FCB are due to transfer into the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure under the Review of Public Administration.
