Rheoleiddir pysgota am gregyn bylchog yng Nghymru trwy Orchymyn Pysgota am Gregyn Bylchog (Cymru) (Rhif 2\) 2010\.  Mae’r rheoliadau’n gwahardd treillio am gregyn bylchog mewn sawl ardal o amgylch Cymru.  Mae’r ardaloedd hynny wedi’u diffinio’n glir o gwmpas arfordir Cymru ac maent wedi’u nodi’n rhai pwysig i rywogaethau a chynefinoedd bregus y môr.  Ni chaniateir pysgota am gregyn bylchog rhwng 1 Mai \- 31 Hydref bob blwyddyn yn nyfroedd tiriogaethol Cymru.

 Yn ogystal â’r cyfyngiadau yng Ngorchymyn 2010, rheoleiddir pysgota am gregyn bylchog ledled Cymru hefyd drwy is\-ddeddfau’r hen Bwyllgorau Pysgodfeydd Môr. O dan yr Is\-ddeddfau hynny, mae angen cael caniatâd i bysgota am gregyn bylchog o fewn 6 milltir forol i forlin Cymru. Yn sgil diddymu Pwyllgorau Pysgodfeydd Môr Cymru yn 2010, Gweinidogion Cymru sy’n rhoi’r caniatâd hwnnw erbyn hyn.

 Mae Gweinidogion Cymru o dan amryw rwymedigaethau (sy’n deillio o’r Gyfarwyddeb Gynefinoedd (Cyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 92/43/EEC) mewn perthynas â’r Safleoedd Morol niferus yn Ewrop (Ardaloedd Cadwraeth Arbennig ac Ardaloedd Gwarchodaeth Arbennig)) o amgylch arfordir Cymru.

 Ar sail yr holl wybodaeth berthnasol sydd ar gael, rwyf wedi cytuno:

 1. bod yr amryw gyfyngiadau yng Ngorchymyn Pysgota am gregyn Bylchog (Cymru) (Rhif 2\) 2010 yn ddigon i sicrhau bod pobl yn pysgota am gregyn bylchog yng Nghymru mewn ffordd sy’n atal cynefinoedd naturiol a chynefinoedd rhywogaethau rhag dirywio ac nad yw’n aflonyddu ar y rhywogaethau y mae Safleoedd Morol Ewropeaidd Cymru wedi’u neilltuo iddynt i’r graddau y gallai aflonyddu o’r fath fod yn arwyddocaol mewn perthynas ag amcanion y Gyfarwyddeb Gynefinoedd (yn unol â rhwymedigaethau Gweinidogion Cymru o dan Erthygl 6(2\) y Gyfarwyddeb Gynefinoedd);
2. na fydd y gweithgareddau pysgota am gregyn bylchog a ganiateir trwy roi caniatâd o dan Is\-ddeddfau perthnasol yr hen Bwyllgorau Pysgodfeydd Môr yn cael effaith sylweddol ar Safleoedd Morol Ewropeaidd Cymru.

 Felly, yn unol â Gorchymyn Pysgota am Gregyn Bylchog (Cymru) (Rhif 2\) 2010 a’r caniatâd a roddir o dan is\-ddeddfau’r hen Bwyllgorau Pysgodfeydd Môr, dechreuodd y tymor pysgota ar 1 Tachwedd 2011 a daw i ben ar 30 Ebrill 2012\.  

 Caiff y dadansoddiad gwyddonol yn hyn o beth ei gyhoeddi ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru maes o law.  








Translation:


 
Scallop fishing in Wales is regulated through the Scallop Fishing (Wales) (No.2\) Order 2010\. The regulations prohibit scallop dredging in several clearly defined areas around the Welsh coast which have been identified as important to vulnerable marine species and habitats. Scallop fishing is prohibited between 1 May – 31 October each year in Welsh territorial waters.


In addition to the restrictions set out in the 2010 Order, Scallop fishing around Wales is also regulated by byelaws of the former Sea Fisheries Committees. Under those Byelaws, authorisations are required to fish for scallops within 6nm of the Welsh coastline. Following the abolition of the Welsh Sea Fisheries Committees in 2010, those authorisations are now issued by the Welsh Ministers.


The Welsh Ministers are under various obligations (originating from the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC)) in relation to the numerous European Marine Sites (Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs)) around the Welsh coast.


On the basis of all available and relevant information I have agreed that:


1. the various restrictions set out in the Scallop Fishing (Wales) (No 2\) Order 2010 are sufficient to ensure that the Welsh Scallop fishery is operated in a way which will avoid the deterioration of natural habitats and the habitats of species as well as disturbance of the species for which the Welsh European Marine Sites have been designated, in so far as such disturbance could be significant in relation to the objectives of the Habitats Directive (in compliance with the Welsh Ministers obligations under Article 6(2\) of the Habitats Directive); and
2. that the scalloping activities permitted by the issuing of authorisations under the relevant saved Byelaws of the former Sea Fisheries Committees will not have a significant effect on the Welsh European Marine Sites.


Therefore, in accordance with the Scallop Fishing (Wales) (No.2\) Order 2010 and authorisations issued under the byelaws of the former Sea Fisheries Committees, fishing commenced on 1 November 2011 and will cease on 30 April 2012\.


The scientific analysis considered in this matter will be published on the Welsh Government website shortly.
