103Area of fishery

103 Area of fishery (1) The Demersal Fishery area is the area extending seaward from an imaginary line that is 15 nautical miles from the low water mark and that follows the coastline to the outer boundary of the Australian fishing zone, insofar as the waters are relevant waters, but excluding the Timor Reef Fishery area. (2) Within the Demersal Fishery area there are two zones, Zones A and B (the trawl zones), in which finfish trawl gear can be used. (3) Zone A is the area bounded by a line: (a) commencing at the intersection by the parallel of latitude 11° 00' south and the meridian of longitude 133° 16' east; and

(4) Zone B is the area bounded by a line: (a) commencing at the intersection by the parallel of latitude 13°00' south and the meridian of longitude 128°45' east; and (b) from there easterly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 13°00' south, longitude 129°20' east; and

Fisheries Regulations 1992 92 (c) from there northerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 12°30' south, longitude 129°20' east; and (d) from there westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 12°30' south, longitude 129°10' east; and (e) from there northerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 11°45' south, longitude 129°10' east; and (f) from there westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 11°45' south, longitude 128°06' east; and (g) from there southerly along the geodesic to the intersection by the boundary between the Territory and Western Australia as specified in the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 (Cth) as in force immediately before its repeal; and (h) from there generally south-easterly along that boundary between the Territory and Western Australia as specified in the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 (Cth) as in force immediately before its repeal; and to its intersection by the parallel of latitude 12°30' south; and (i) from there generally south-easterly along the geodesic to the point of commencement. relevant waters means waters relevant to the Territory within the meaning of clause 2 of the arrangement made under Part 5 of the Commonwealth Act between the Commonwealth and the Territory in relation to the Demersal and Timor Reef Fishery on Timor Reef Fishery area means the area specified in regulation 141C.
