Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations prohibit the taking of any white pointer shark using a New Zealand ship on the high seas.

A person convicted of breach- ing the prohibition may be fined up to $100,000.
The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (1979) requires a prohibition on the taking of white pointer sharks.

These regulations implement the prohibition in relation to New Zealand ships on the high seas.

The prohibition is implemented in relation to New Zealand fisheries waters by the addition of white pointer shark to Schedule 7A of the Wildlife Act 1953.

These regulations come into force on 1 April 2007.
