sec.11 Regulated waters shown on a fisheries regulated waters plan
This section applies for identifying waters that form part of regulated waters that are declared by reference to waters shown as regulated waters on a fisheries regulated waters plan. Waters shown within the boundary lines on the fisheries regulated waters plan are part of the regulated waters. However, if the fisheries regulated waters plan shows that waters within a particular boundary are excluded from the regulated waters shown on the plan, those waters are not part of the regulated waters. If the fisheries regulated waters plan shows a boundary by reference to a geographical feature or fixed structure— the boundary is decided by reference to the feature or structure; and to the extent the boundary is decided by reference to the feature or structure, a line in relation to the boundary shown on the plan is only indicative of the current position of the boundary. Regulated waters are shown on a fisheries regulated waters plan by reference to a shoreline. Rough weather alters the location of parts of the shoreline. The boundary of the regulated waters is decided by reference to the shoreline as altered, despite any inconsistency with the location of the shoreline as shown on the plan. Also, if the fisheries regulated waters plan shows a boundary with a gap in it, the boundary continues in a straight line across the gap to the nearest point of the boundary on the other side of the gap.
