8 Identity cards
(1) The Director must give a Fisheries Officer appointed under
section 7(1), or a Fisheries Inspector, an identity card stating the
person's name and that the person is a Fisheries Officer or
Fisheries Inspector.
(2) The identity card must:
(a) show a recent photograph of the Fisheries Officer or Fisheries
Inspector; and
(b) show the card's date of issue and expiry; and
(c) be signed by the Officer or Inspector.
(3) This section does not prevent the issue of a single identity card to a
person for this and another Act.
(4) The production by a Fisheries Officer or Fisheries Inspector of a
current identity card, or evidence that a Fisheries Officer is a police
officer, is, until the contrary is proved, sufficient authority to do
anything that the Officer or Inspector is authorised by or under this
Act to do.
