Description: Commercial Fishing Regulations represent Commercial Fishing prohibitions and restrictions within New Zealand’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as per New Zealand Commercial Fishing Regulations legislation for the purpose of Fisheries management. Commercial Fishing Regulations in this dataset include, but are not limited to: Fisheries (Auckland and Kermadecs Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986, Fisheries (Challenger Area Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986, Fisheries (Central Area Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986, Fisheries (South-East Area Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986, Fisheries (Southland and Sub-Antarctic Areas Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986 and Fisheries (Commercial Fishing) Regulations 2001. Current and historical copies of these regulations can be found online at: www.legislation.govt.nzAlso included in this layer are Fisheries (Benthic Protection Areas) Regulations 2007, Fishery Notices (including beach cast seaweed and temporary closures), Marine Reserves, Marine Mammal Protection Notices, Submarine Cables and Pipelines Protections and other restrictions. Method of creation: The geometries of the features were sourced from the area descriptions provided within legislation or from another agency. The polygons were created by various methods, such as, but not limited to: using gazetted coordinates, snapping polygon vertices to LINZ Topo50 Coastline, relating to Aerial Imagery, appending polygons from other datasets such as the LINZ New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone layer. Please note: Many features in this dataset contain general inland boundaries that are not part of the defined area. Features with a value of 1 in the ‘CoastlineRemoval’ field contain general inland boundaries. This is for the purposes of reducing vertices (to improve performance) and to future proof the data from changes to the coastline (users can erase the latest coastline data from the layer). For analysis, it is advised to erase the coastline area from features with general inland boundaries, such as the LINZ Topo 1:50k Coastline layer. The following fields within the attribute table may include helpful information related to how the geometries were created: MappingNote, CoastlineRemoval, SpecialConditions, AreaDescriptionURL and Keywords. Data is to be used as a general reference only and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Not to be used for navigational purposes.
