Observer Fisheries Management Areas

This data has been supplied in WSG84 Mercator 41 projection. The data was last updated as of 1 October 2019. These are based upon the general FMAs. 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. These two resources were not available for the creation of the general FMA information layer. Approximate co-ordinates contained within the legislation defining the FMA boundaries were used. These co-ordinates are not legally authoritative, but are considered accurate in most circumstances. These co-ordinates were plotted and used to construct the boundaries of the FMA’s. Where a co-ordinate described the boundary between an FMA and the coast or EEZ, the boundary was projected outside the boundary along the described bearing of interception. Areas of the FMA’s projected outside the boundary of the EEZ were deleted through an erase outside routine within MapInfo 7.0, while the coastal boundaries were left drawn inland of the coast.
