Flexible permits adapted to local conditions

Mussel larvae collector lines in the Netherlands do not have the permit to remain at sea all year round, a solution to prevent potential loss. Instead they are allowed at sea from March 1st to 1 November 1st and have to be taken out of the water every winter because of the storm season and the potential loss this generates.
