S186 Temporary Closures

Section 186A & B of the Fisheries Act 1996 allows the Minister of Fisheries to temporarily close an area to fishing. The specific purpose is to provide for the use and management practices of tängata whenua in the exercise of their customary rights and they are designed to respond to localised depletion of fisheries resources. Temporary closures are designed to respond to localised depletion of fisheries resources. Note that in this context, Tängata Whenua means the hapu or iwi that hold manawhenua in the area. Anyone (not just Tängata Whenua) can request a s 186A (North Island/ Chathams) and 186B (South Island) temporary closure, but the legislation is designed for customary purposes so must meet that purpose and have the support of Tängata Whenua if they are not the applicants. This layer is only a geographic representation of s 186 closures and contains all states and statuses of a given s 186. Only those that have been gazetted are enforceable under law. The full legal descriptionof all gazetted s 186 cosures can be found here: https://gazette.govt.nz and should be refered to as the single source of truth. The best quality vertices are those that have been located using the Absolute XY tool. All vertices created using other methods may in location by up to 50m. This layer is a representation of fishing closures containing all statuses from proposed to gazetted. To be used in conjunction with a layer file. Since all states are present in the attribute table a definition query for "Acitve" records is required to display current closures only.1996年《渔业法》第186A条与第186B条授权渔业部长临时关闭特定区域以实施捕捞禁令。该条款的核心目的是为毛利原住民社群（Tāngata whenua）行使其传统渔业权利提供配套的使用与管理规范，且旨在应对渔业资源的局地枯竭问题。临时捕捞关闭措施的设立初衷正是为应对渔业资源的局地枯竭情况。 需注意，在本语境中，Tāngata whenua指对该区域拥有海域传统管理权（manawhenua）的哈普部落（hapu）与伊维族群（iwi）。任何主体（不限于Tāngata whenua）均可申请启动第186A条（适用于北岛/查塔姆群岛）与第186B条（适用于南岛）规定的临时捕捞关闭措施，但该立法的设计初衷为保障传统渔业权益，因此申请需符合该立法宗旨；若申请人并非Tāngata whenua，则需获得该社群的支持。 本图层仅为第186条规定的捕捞关闭区域的地理可视化载体，涵盖该条款下所有关闭措施的状态与存续情况。仅经新西兰政府公报正式公告的关闭区域具备法律执行力。所有经公告的第186条关闭区域的完整法律说明可通过https://gazette.govt.nz查阅，该网站应作为唯一权威信息来源。 采用绝对XY坐标工具（Absolute XY tool）定位的顶点精度最高，通过其他方式生成的顶点，其空间位置偏差最高可达50米。本图层为全状态捕捞禁捕区域的可视化呈现，涵盖从拟议设立到正式公告的全部状态，需配合配套图层文件一同使用。由于属性表（attribute table）中包含所有状态的记录，若仅需展示当前有效的禁捕区域，需对"Active"记录启用定义查询（definition query）。
