sec.66 Criteria for suspending effort units
This section applies in relation to effort units for a trawl region held by a person. An appropriate suspension may be suspension of a number of the effort units that reduces the person’s total entitlement under the effort units to an extent that, as nearly as practicable, corresponds to what may be an appropriate period of suspension for a licence held by the person if the court were suspending the licence under section 65 . A holds effort units for a trawl region and a primary commercial fishing licence associated with the effort units. A is convicted of a serious fisheries offence. It is A’s first conviction. An appropriate suspension may be suspension of a number of the effort units that would entitle A to use the primary boat under the licence for 3 months to 1 year. s 66 amd 2020 SL No. 236 s 187 (sec.66-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to effort units for a trawl region held by a person.
