Certain compensation claims expire after 3 years from this law’s entry into force, with a 1-year expiry for claims whose basis arose within 5 years before entry into force. Former fishing districts must transfer funds for those compensation claims to the regional ELY Centre, and if those transferred claims expire, the ELY Centre must distribute the funds to fisheries areas for specified costs.

A person affected by certain fishery area decisions may ask the general meeting to correct the decision and may then appeal the correction decision, with further appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court only if leave to appeal is granted.
