397: Existing applications for marine farming leases
or “Explains what happens to requests for sea farming permits that were already sent in before the rules changed”
You could also call this:

“Regional councils can't accept requests for sea-related permits in areas the Fisheries Minister has pointed out.”

This part of the law is about regional councils and coastal permits. It says that regional councils cannot accept applications for coastal permits in certain areas. These areas are the ones that the Minister of Fisheries has told them about. This rule was part of the Resource Management Act 1991, but it’s not used anymore. The government removed this rule on 1 January 2005.
