By adjusting these points, the order slightly shifts where trawl fishing is legally permitted in the Bight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008","history":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/fisheries-management-southern-and-eastern-scalefish-and-shark-temporary-order-2008/documents"}}
