Amateur Fisheries Management Areas

Amateur Fishery management areas (FMA's) are defined within Schedule 7 of the Fisheries (Amateur Fishing) Regulations 2013. FMA's are based on likely stock boundaries as well as administrative considerations. FMA's are the basis of QMA's for most fish stocks. The amateur FMA's combined with the Kaikōura and Fiordland Marine Areas make up New Zealand's 7 recreational fishing areas. Legal definitions of the boundaries of the Fisheries Management Areas are contained within Schedule 7 of the Fisheries (Amateur Fishing) Regulations 2013. Legal definition of the FMA boundaries is dependent on legally authoritative layers depicting the EEZ boundary and mean high water mark. EE Zand Topo50 Coastline datasets sourced from LINZ and released under CC-BY 4.0 were used in the creation of this dataset.业余渔业管理区域（Amateur Fishery Management Areas，缩写FMA）的定义收录于《2013年渔业（业余垂钓）条例》附表7中。此类区域的划定以潜在渔业种群边界为基础，同时兼顾行政管理需求。对于多数鱼类种群而言，FMA是配额管理区域（Quota Management Areas，缩写QMA）的划定依据。业余FMA与凯库拉海洋区、峡湾海洋区共同组成新西兰的7个休闲垂钓区域。此类渔业管理区域的边界法定定义同样收录于《2013年渔业（业余垂钓）条例》附表7中。FMA边界的法定定义依赖于两类具备法律效力的地理图层：专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone，缩写EEZ）边界图层与平均高潮位图层。本数据集的制作采用了来自新西兰土地信息局（Land Information New Zealand，缩写LINZ）、并以知识共享署名4.0（CC-BY 4.0）协议发布的EEZ与Topo50海岸线数据集。
