Fisheries Management (Abalone Share Management Plan) Regulation 2000

An endorsement holder must not use a boat to take abalone for sale unless the boat displays the letter “A” followed by the home port initials of the boat on both sides of the outside of the bow or wheelhouse in clearly visible letters that are of a colour that contrasts with that of the boat and that are—

in the case of a boat that is more than 7.5 metres long—not less than 300 mm in height and 150 mm in width, or

in the case of any other boat—not less than 150 mm in height.

The home port initials of a boat are the initials of the port from which the boat usually operates.

This clause applies in addition to any boat marking requirements in the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2019.

A contravention of a subclause (1) is an endorsement holder offence.
