Prohibition orders may be made against repeat offenders
282C Prohibition orders may be made against repeat offenders
A court that convicts a repeat offender of a fisheries offence may, on application by the prosecutor, make an order that prohibits the offender from doing any or all of the following—
engaging in specified fishing activities,
being in possession of specified fishing gear,
being in possession of fish or marine vegetation of a specified species,
being on a boat of a kind specified in the order while on or adjacent to any waters or waters specified in the order,
being on any specified premises (that are premises in which fish are sold or in which any commercial fishing activity is conducted).
The order may be made only if the court is satisfied that the order is necessary to prevent a threat to the sustainable management of a fisheries resource and that the threat justifies the restrictions to be imposed on the repeat offender.
