The word public notice has the same meaning as in section 2AB. The word tender means any form of tender, whether it is public or not. The word trustee has the same meaning as in section 4 of the Maori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004.

You need to understand these words to know what the law is saying. The law uses these words to explain how you can occupy common marine and coastal areas. It is important to know what these words mean so you can follow the law.
