Yn fy Natganiad i’r Cyfarfod Llawn ar Gynllun Gweithredu Strategol y Môr a Physgodfeydd ar 26 Tachwedd 2013, disgrifiais amcanion Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer rheoli’n pysgodfeydd yn ystod y sesiwn hwn.  Mae’r amcanion hynny’n cynnwys y bwriad i adolygu’r modd y rheolir pysgodfeydd cramenogion o gwmpas Cymru.  Rwyf am weld pysgodfa cramenogion hyfyw a chynaliadwy yng Nghymru gyda deddfwriaeth syml ac effeithiol yn gefn iddi.

Mae fy swyddogion wedi ystyried yr opsiynau ar gyfer rheoli Cimychiaid, Cimychiaid Coch, Crancod Coch, Crancod Heglog a Chrancod Llygatgoch.  Bydd Rhan 1 yr adolygiad yn ystyried y gofynion maint lleiaf ar gyfer y rhywogaethau hyn yn ogystal â mesurau i ddiogelu’r stoc cimychiaid bridio.

Amherir ar y trefniadau rheoli’r pysgodfeydd hyn gan hen ddeddfwriaeth sydd weithiau’n gorgyffwrdd, yn dyblygu ac yn croesddweud.  Lle bo’n berthnasol, rwyf am ddiddymu’r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol a chyflwyno cyfres o fesurau perthnasol ac ystyrlon a fydd yn symleiddio trefniadau rheoli a gorfodi pysgodfeydd cramenogion Cymru a diogelu’u cynaliadwyedd tymor hir.

Bydd Rhan II yr adolygiad cramenogion yn ystyried mabwysiadu mesurau cadwraeth ychwanegol sy’n gofyn am fwy o dystiolaeth cyn y gellir eu hystyried ar gyfer eu cyflwyno.  Gofynnir i’r diwydiant am ei farn ar y mesurau cychwynnol hyn, sy’n cynnwys y posibilrwydd o fabwysiadu meintiau glanio mwyaf a thyllau dianc mewn cewyll cramenogion.

Rwyf heddiw wedi lansio ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar y cynigion am 12 wythnos gyda’r bwriad o roi’r broses gyfreithiol ar gyfer drafftio deddfwriaeth newydd ynghylch Rhan I ar waith yn haf 2014\. Cliciwch ar y ddolen isod i weld y ddogfen ymgynghori.

In my Plenary Statement on the Marine and Fisheries Strategic Action Plan for Wales on   

26 November 2013, I set out the Welsh Government’s ambitions in relation to the management of our fisheries during this session. Those ambitions included the intention to review the management of crustacean fisheries around Wales. I want to see a viable and sustainable Welsh crustacean fishery with simple and effective legislation.  


My officials have considered the options for management of Lobsters, Crawfish, Edible Crab, Spider Crab and Velvet Crab.  Phase I of the review relating to those species will address minimum size requirements as well as measures to protect the breeding stock of lobsters in Wales.


The management of this fishery is currently hampered by historic legislation which sometimes overlaps, duplicates and contradicts itself. Where relevant, I intend to revoke the current legislation and introduce a suite of relevant and coherent measures which will simplify management and enforcement of the Welsh crustacean fishery and ensure long term sustainability.


Phase II of the crustacean review will explore the possibility of additional conservation measures which currently require more evidence before they can be considered for introduction.  Industry opinion is, however, invited on these preliminary proposals, which include the possibility of maximum landing sizes and escape gaps in crustacean pots.  


I have today launched a public consultation of the proposals for 12 weeks, with the intention of implementing the legal process for drafting new legislation regarding Phase I in the summer of 2014\.  Please click on a link below to view the consultation document.
