Biosecurity Act 1993

Exclusive economic zone

162AU: Declaration of biosecurity emergency

You could also call this:

"Declaring a biosecurity emergency in New Zealand or its surrounding waters"

When you are in the Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ, the law about declaring a biosecurity emergency is a bit different. The rule that applies is the same as the one that applies in New Zealand. You can find this rule in section 144(1), but you have to imagine that it says "or the EEZ" after "New Zealand".
