165AB: Establishment of aquaculture management areas
or “This law used to set rules for where fish farms could be in the sea, but it's not used anymore.”

You could also call this:

“This part explains how the rules for getting permission to use coastal areas work with the rest of the law.”

This part of the law talks about how you can use space in the common marine and coastal area. If you want to use this space, you need to apply for something called a coastal permit. When you apply for a coastal permit, the same rules that apply to other resource consents also apply to your application. However, there are some special rules in this part of the law that you also need to follow. These special rules work together with the general rules for resource consents.
