(1)  In this regulation –

Bass Strait area means the area of State waters adjacent to the north coast of Tasmania and the Furneaux Group of islands in Bass Strait bounded in the west by an imaginary line running from the northernmost point of Woolnorth Point to the point of latitude 40° 37’ 14.40” South, longitude 144° 41’ 37.87” East, then running due north to the outer limit of State waters and bounded in the east by an imaginary line beginning where the line of longitude 147° 27’ 00” East meets the high-water mark of the north coast of the mainland of Tasmania in Anderson Bay, then running due north until its junction with the line of latitude 40° 39’ South, then due east along that line of latitude to the outer limit of State waters;

Bass Strait islands area means the area of State waters adjacent to the Furneaux Group of islands in Bass Strait as well as the islands in northern Bass Strait bounded in the west by the line of longitude 145° 22’ 42” East, and bounded in the south by the line of latitude 40° 39’ 00” South;

King Island blacklip area means the area of State waters adjacent to King Island bounded in the east by the line of longitude 144° 41’ 37.87” East, and bounded in the south by the line of latitude 40° 16’ 58.41” South;

Musselroe Bay blacklip area means the area of State waters adjacent to the north-east coast of mainland Tasmania bounded in the west by an imaginary line beginning where the line of longitude 147° 27’ 00” East meets the high-water mark of the north coast of the mainland of Tasmania in Anderson Bay, then running due north until its junction with the line of latitude 40° 39’ 00” South, then due east along that line of latitude to the outer limit of State waters, and bounded in the east by an imaginary line from the northern side of the mouth of the Great Musselroe River at Musselroe Bay running due west for 100 metres, then following the shoreline 100 metres from shore to the northernmost tip of Musselroe Point, then running due north until its junction with the line of latitude 40° 48’ 00” South, and running due east to the outer limit of State waters;

north coast blacklip area means the area of State waters adjacent to the north coast of mainland Tasmania bounded by an imaginary line starting at the point where the line of longitude 145° 22’ 42” East meets the high-water mark near Cowrie Point and running due north along that line of longitude until its junction with the line of latitude 40° 39’ 00” South, then due east along that line of latitude until its junction with the line of longitude 147° 27’ 00” East and then due south along that line of longitude to the high-water mark of the north coast of the mainland of Tasmania in Anderson Bay.
