Regulation 6 provides for the establishment of a Fisheries Advisory Committee. Regulations 13, 14, 15 and 16 prescribe conditions attached to a foreign fishing licence. In Part VII fishery conservation measures for lobsters, turtles, corals, sponges, algae, conch, sea urchins, marine mammals and freshwater shrimp and crayfish, are specified. Other provisions deal with protection of fishing in fishing priority areas and the use of certain fishing methods.
