24 Issue and allocation of pearl oyster identification tags
An inspector shall, on the application of a licensee or permit holder —
who satisfies the inspector that he or she wishes to —
take wildstock or broodstock; or
remove pearl oysters from a nursery site for the purpose of subjecting them to pearl seeding operations;
and
whose licence or permit is subject to a condition referred to in section 26(2)(c) or (d)(ii) of the Act; and
who has lodged an annual notice of intent under regulation 11 for the calendar year during which the pearl oysters are to be taken or removed,
issue to the licensee or permit holder pearl oyster identification tags to identify the wildstock, broodstock or nursery grown oysters (as the case requires) to be taken or removed.
A licensee or permit holder to whom tags have been issued shall allocate sufficient of those tags to each boat used by or on behalf of the licensee or permit holder for the purposes of his or her licence or permit to enable the crew of that boat to comply with these regulations.
