General Fisheries Management Areas

Legal definitions of the boundaries of the general Fisheries Management Areas are contained within the first schedule of the Fisheries Act, 1996. Legal definition of the FMA boundaries is dependent on a legally authoritative layers depicting the EEZ boundary and mean high water mark. EEZ and Topo50 Coastline datasets sourced from LINZ and released under CC-BY 4.0 were used in the creation of this dataset.All inland boundaries within this dataset have been approximated and do not reflect the intention of the Act as stated in Note 3 of Schedule 1 (all inland waters are considered a part of the FMA into which they flow directly).1996年《渔业法》附表一中载有通用渔业管理区（Fisheries Management Areas）边界的法定界定。渔业管理区边界的法定界定依赖于具备法律效力的专题图层，该图层用于描绘专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone，EEZ）边界与平均高潮位。本数据集的制作采用了源自新西兰土地信息局（LINZ）、以知识共享署名4.0（CC BY 4.0）协议发布的专属经济区与Topo50海岸线数据集。本数据集内的所有内陆边界均为近似估算值，未体现附表1注释3中所述法案的立法本意，即所有内陆水域均视为其直接汇入的渔业管理区的组成部分。
