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.
