Declaration of restricted fisheries
111 Declaration of restricted fisheries
The regulations may declare that a fishery (not being a share management fishery in respect of which shares issued in the fishery have taken effect) is a restricted fishery for the purposes of this Act.
The fishery may be described in the declaration as an exploratory, developmental or other class of restricted fishery.
Before a fishery is declared to be a restricted fishery, the Minister is required to consult relevant commercial or recreational fishing industry bodies about the proposed declaration and to notify the proposal publicly.
A fishery that is declared to be a restricted fishery ceases to be a restricted fishery if the declaration is revoked by the regulations or if the period (if any) specified by the regulations as the period during which the fishery is a restricted fishery expires.
Note.
A fishery also ceases to be a restricted fishery if it becomes a limited access share management fishery—see section 55.
