79 Simplified outline of this Part
Masters and owners of boats must ensure information such as identification codes allocated by AFMA, and names and radio call signs of foreign boats, are clearly displayed on the boats. Certain information must also be given to AFMA.
Under the Act, AFMA may direct that fishing not occur in parts of the fishery. It is an offence for the master of a boat to navigate the boat in certain ways in an area subject to such a direction.
There are rules about keeping and disposing of fishing equipment an officer finds in the AFZ if the owner of the equipment is unknown.
