Moreover, this Act sets forth provisions on the declaration of fishing areas and marine and inland water reserves; terms and conditions of fishing license for foreign and local fishers; regional cooperation in fisheries, fisheries access agreements and licensing of foreign fishing vessels; port state measures to fight against IUU fishing; prohibited fishing gear and methods; registration of fishing vessels authorized to fish within the Belize waters; establishment and inspection of and requirements for mariculture facilities; monitoring, control and surveillance in ports of Belize and the powers of fisheries officers; and offences and penalties in case of violation of the provisions of this Act and regulations.
