Dechreuodd ymgynghoriad yn 2019 ar ofynion cychod o dan 12m ac er mwyn cefnogi’r diwydiant pysgota, mae dyfeisiau VMS wedi’u cynnig am ddim i gychod o’r fath yng Nghymru. Ond oherwydd rheolau Cronfa’r Môr a Physgodfeydd Ewrop, o heddiw, rhaid i bysgotwyr brynu eu dyfeisiau eu hunain.
A consultation began in 2019 on the requirement for the under 12m fleet and to support the fishing industry, Vessel Monitoring Systems have been offered for free to the relevant Welsh fishing fleet. However, due to European Maritime and Fisheries Fund rules, from today onwards fishers will have to purchase the devices themselves.
