[DEM-Coastal] Gear on the Bulkhead

[DEM-Coastal]

Good morning berth holders,

Please review Port Operations Regulations and Berthing Management System section 1.8 (DD) & (GG)  for gear along the bulkhead.  If you have any gear that has been on the bulkhead for over (1) week, please remove it to your gear storage area. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

DD. Storage of Gear

1. Port of Galilee - No gear, barrels, nets, equipment, or other material shall
be allowed to remain on a pier in a manner which obstructs safe passage
or use. Passage over the piers shall remain unobstructed at all times. No
gear, barrels, equipment or other materials shall be allowed to obstruct
passage to the piers or on land adjacent and providing access to the pier.


GG. The Bulkhead located west of the western side of the Great Island Bridge:

1. The Bulkhead shall be used primarily as a loading/unloading zone for
commercial fishing vessels.

2. Power washing of Lobster Pots is allowed only in the designated area
near the Great Island Bridge. Pots must be removed immediately upon
completion of the cleaning so others may use the area. The area must be
cleaned upon the completion of the work.

3. There is no storage of pots/gear of any kind along the bulkhead. All
pots/gear must be removed within one (1) week. If any pots/gear are left
for a period of longer than one (1) week, they shall be deemed abandoned

the bulkhead at any time for any reason.
