Errm Ron is this legal - do you have a licence to trap crayfish?

Steve,

I live outside the area covered by the general license that allows you to keep signal crayfish in most areas down south so I have a license from CEFAS to hold them at my yard. I still have to apply to the Environment Agency for trapping consents (A Section 28) on any water I am working on. The license to trap is specific to the water, when a customer contacts me I need the details of that particular water to apply to the EA for a trapping consent before I can start work there, this process takes a few weeks which is why I am boking my summer work now (I need all my consents in order before the water warms up and the trapping season begins) . I hope this clears things up for you.
Regards,

Ben
