This data contains the the Fishing Restrictions for a specific fisheries management region and the Submarine Cable and Pipeline Protection aspects of mapping undertaken by the Department of Conservation as published December 2004 in “Area-based restrictions in the New Zealand marine environment”. This report should be consulted where more detail regarding this data is required. See Lineage:

Mapping Detail
The fishing restrictions were derived using the legal descriptions in the appropriatestatutory regulation. The boundaries of individual restrictive provisions were mappedusing coordinates (latitude, longitude), LINZ NZMS260 Topographic coast 2005,LINZ EEZ, LINZ Territorial Sea, all are defined in WGS84. Location descriptionswhere also used when coordinate descriptions wereinappropriate or undefined.
Submarine Cables and Pipelines were derived using the legal descriptions in theappropriate statutory regulation. The boundaries of individual restrictive provisionswere mapped using latitude and longitude coordinates.
Mapping Methodology
Mapping is captured and displayed in WGS84 decimal degrees (lat/long).
One polygon area may contain more than one restriction (see Attributemethodology 2.1 above for details).
Geographic coordinates listed in the legal descriptions have been plotted onlywhere there was no obvious alternative way to define the point in question(e.g.: landmark).
Where buffering has been required to define a boundary, this has beencarried out by computation with outer boundaries generalized using 60segments per circle.
Rocks, islands and islets have not been removed from mapped areas.
Areas were calculated in km2 using a Spherical Area Projection (areamaintained) and are rounded where possible to the nearest 10km. Thecalculation relates to the area of the restriction that covers the ocean, noislands are included. Where inland waters are included as part of therestriction then these are not included as part of the calculation.
The coastline used for mapping of all restricted areas was the Mean HighWater coastline extracted from LINZ 1:50k NZMS260 Topographic 2005.
Where EEZ and/or territorial water boundaries form part of a defined restrictedarea, the boundaries used are as supplied by LINZ.
