12A: Restrictions on aquaculture activities in coastal marine area and on other activities in aquaculture management areas
or “Rules about where you can grow sea animals and what else you can do in those areas were removed from the law.”
You could also call this:

“ Allows fish farmers to keep using the sea even if the special area for fish farming is gone ”

This section of the law is no longer in effect. It used to talk about what happens to permits for aquaculture activities in coastal areas when an aquaculture management area no longer exists. However, this part of the law was removed on 1 October 2011. If you want to know more about the current rules for aquaculture activities in coastal areas, you should look at other parts of the Resource Management Act 1991 or ask someone who knows about the latest laws.
