The Board of Conservation of the Rother Fishery District was established in 1872, under the terms of the Salmon Fishery Act 1865, to regulate fishing stocks and fishing licences in 'so much of the Rivers Rother, Tillingham and Brede, and their tributaries as lie within the Counties of Sussex and Kent and the Liberties of Rye and Winchelsea; the estuary of the said rivers; the space between the ordinary high and low water mark between Dungeness in ... Kent and Fairlight; all rivers running into the sea between the said points; and the sea adjoining to the seashore between the said points for the distance of three miles seaward from the ordinary low water mark'.
