Biosecurity Act 1993

Exclusive economic zone

162AM: General duty to inform

You could also call this:

"Tell someone if you see a biosecurity risk in New Zealand's waters"

When you are in the Exclusive Economic Zone, you have a duty to inform. This duty is the same as the one in Section 44(1), but it also applies to the Exclusive Economic Zone. You must inform as if the Exclusive Economic Zone is part of New Zealand.
