If you are in charge of a craft in the exclusive economic zone, you must follow directions from an inspector or authorised person. This is because some rules from the Biosecurity Act 1993, like Section 19, apply in this area. You have to obey these directions, but some parts of Section 19 do not apply, like the parts about cargo, crew, or passengers.
