sec.98 Limited impact research (extractive)

This section applies to a person in relation to using the marine park for installing or operating minor research aids for limited impact research (extractive) for a research project. The person must ensure that a research aid of a type mentioned in subsection (3) or (4) is installed and used in compliance with this section. The person must ensure— no more than 10 stakes may be used for the research project; and no stake protrudes by 300mm or more from the substrate. The person must ensure— no more than 20 subsurface marker buoys are used at each location to which the research project relates; and no more than 10 surface marker buoys are used at each location to which the research project relates; and— each subsurface marker buoy or surface marker buoy that is used is attached by lines to— concrete nails driven into consolidated substrate; or inverted U-shaped metal rods less than 6mm in diameter driven into unconsolidated substrate; and if a surface marker buoy is used—a researcher associated with the research project is present while the research is being carried out at the location where the buoy is used. In this section— location means— a discrete identified reef; or a continuous non-reef area of up to 10km 2 .
