### sec.130A Temporary declaration of exclusion zone by general manager
The general manager may declare a stated area around a ship involved in a marine incident to be an exclusion zone if the general manager is reasonably satisfied the declaration is required for a limited period to ensure safety.
The general manager must take the steps necessary to ensure ships that may be affected by the declaration are aware of it, including, for example, by a notice to mariners.
The general manager must revoke the declaration when the general manager ceases to be satisfied that the exclusion zone is still required to ensure safety.
The declaration ends 28 days after the declaration is made if it is not earlier revoked.
When the declaration ends under subsection (3) or (4) , the general manager must immediately take the steps necessary to ensure ships that may be affected by the exclusion zone are aware of the ending of the exclusion zone.
