Exclusive economic zone

162AW: Provisional control action

You could also call this:

"Temporary rules to keep everyone safe at sea and on land"

When you are in the Exclusive Economic Zone, the rules about provisional control action are similar to those on land. The law says that Section 152(1) applies to the Exclusive Economic Zone, just like it applies to New Zealand. This means you must follow the same rules in the Exclusive Economic Zone as you would on land, according to Section 152(1).
