Résumé

For the purposes of this Act, the territorial seas of the State shall be that portion of the sea which lies between the baseline and the outer limit of the territorial seas (sect. 2) and the outer limit of the territorial seas is the line every point of which is at a distance of three nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline (sect. 3). Section 4 defines "baseline" whereas section 5 defines "internal waters". For the purposes of Part XIII of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959, the exclusive fishery limits of the State shall comprise all sea areas which lie within the outer limit of the territorial seas. The Government may by order provide that the exclusive fishery limits shall include a wider area of sea than the one specified above, and may by order revoke any such order (sect. 6). Where the Government, having regard to any international agreement to which the State is a party, are satisfied that it is necessary so to do in order to maintain the productivity of the living resources of the sea, they may by order prescribe and adopt such measures of conservation as they think proper, appropriate to any stock of fish or other marine resources in any area (called "a fishery conservation area") (sect. 7). Whenever the Minister for Lands so thinks proper, for experimental purposes in connection with sea-fishing, the Minister may issue a permit authorising fishing by means of a specified foreign sea-fishing within the exclusive fishery limits of the State or any defined area or areas thereof (sect. 8). Remaining provisions deal with jurisdiction in the case of offences and evidence as to extent of internal waters, territorial seas, exclusive fishery limits and fishery conservation areas.
