“What special words mean in this law”

When you read this part of the law, some words have special meanings. The word “application” refers to a request for a coastal permit to do aquaculture activities. The word “moratorium” refers to a specific period of time.

This period of time started on 28 November 2001 and ended on 31 December 2004, or on a date specified in an order made under section 150C, which applies to a particular coastal marine area. You need to look at the order to find the exact end date for that area. The order will tell you when the moratorium ended for that specific place.
