5 AAC 34.010 - Application of regulations
(a) Unless
otherwise specified in this chapter, the regulations in this chapter applicable
to a king crab registration area also apply to the adjacent waters of the
exclusive economic zone.
(b) The
commissioner may suspend the application of this section to all or a portion of
the waters of the exclusive economic zone adjacent to a king crab registration
area if the commissioner finds that
(1)
application of this section fails to facilitate enforcement of regulations
applicable to a registration area;
(2) application of this section fails to
protect or conserve king crab inhabiting territorial waters of Alaska;
or
(3) the state has an
insufficient interest in the king crab inhabiting the waters of the exclusive
economic zone to warrant extension of the jurisdiction of the state to the
exclusive economic zone.
(c) For the purposes of this chapter,
"exclusive economic zone" means all the waters adjacent to a king crab
registration area and seaward to a boundary line drawn in such a manner that
each point on the line is 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the
territorial sea is measured.
