The chief executive must keep three registers. You can think of a register as a list of information. The chief executive keeps a list of aquaculture agreements, a list of pre-request aquaculture agreements, and a list of compensation declarations. The chief executive must follow certain rules when keeping these registers. These rules are outlined in sections 186K(2) to (6), 186L, and 186M. These rules apply to each of the three registers. The chief executive must make sure each register has the right information. This is so you can find the information you need about aquaculture agreements and compensation declarations.
