The Government may, with respect to that portion of the exclusive fishery limits of the State which lies between: (a) the line every point of which is at a distance of three nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline; and (b) the line every point of which is at a distance of six nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline, by order specify the states the fishing vessels of which may, until: (i) the end of the year 1965 in areas of parts of the coast where the baseline is low-water mark; and (ii) the end of the year 1966 in other areas, fish therein. An order under this section may apply differently to different states and vessels and may confine fishing by any vessels to particular stocks of fish or particular fishing grounds. Fishing under and in accordance with an order under this section shall not be a contravention of the prohibition on fishing by means of a foreign sea-fishing boat imposed by subsection (1) of section 222 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959. Section 13 provides for evidence as to extent of internal waters, territorial seas, exclusive fishery limits and fishery conservation areas.
