Marine reserves declared under Section 27 of the Fisheries Act 2002
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Marine reserves declared under Section 27 of the Fisheries Act 2002.
Any area of the fisheries waters (and adjacent land) the Minister declares a marine reserve by Order. Within a marine reserve, fishing or attempting to fish, and taking or destroying flora or fauna, are offences unless written permission is granted (Section 27(2)-(3)). No specific marine-reserve Orders were retrievable during this research; treat as a legal mechanism rather than a confirmed named zone.
