Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You want to be a notified user of a fishing vessel. You and the vessel's operator must apply together to the chief executive. You must use the approved form and pay the fee if there is one. When the chief executive gets your application, they will note your name on the Fishing Vessel Register. They will also give you and the operator a certificate of notification. You cannot be a notified user if the vessel is foreign-owned. You also cannot be a notified user if you are an overseas person.
