to be determined by reference to the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (AGD66).

   6.2 For convenience in the use of navigational aids, the closed areas are also described in Schedule 2 by reference to the World Geodetic Datum 1984 (WGS84).

   6.3 In the case of an inconsistency between the coordinates in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, Schedule 1 takes precedence.

Prohibitions

   7.1 Under paragraph 16(1)(a) of the Act, the taking of prawns in the closed areas are prohibited during the closure period.

   7.2 Under paragraph 16(1)(o) of the Act, in the closed areas during the closure period a person must not have in his or her possession or charge in a boat, equipment that is:

         (a) capable of being used for any kind of trawling; or

         (b) capable of being used for taking prawns;

    unless the equipment is carried so that all of the equipment is out of the water or, if any part of the equipment is in the water:

         (c) all cod ends are open and drawn up to the boat so that the cod ends would be visible from an aircraft or another boat; and
         (d) the boards are at the blocks.

SCHEDULES

    NOTES:

    (1) The position of a geographical coordinate in the description of the closed areas East of Warrior Reef are to be determined by reference to the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (AGD66), that is to say, by reference to a spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,160 metres and a flattening of 1/298.25 and the position of the Johnston Geodetic Station in the Northern Territory of Australia.  That station is to be taken to be situated at Latitude 25°56'54.5515" South and at Longitude 133°12'30.0771" East and to have a ground level of 571.2 metres above the spheroid referred to above.

    (2) For convenience, the coordinates of the closed areas East of Warrior Reef are also expressed in Schedule 2 based on the World Geodetic Datum 1984 (WGS84) Reference Frame at the 2005.0 epoch.  The geographic coordinates are referenced to the WGS84 reference spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,137 metres and a flattening of 1/298.257223563.

    (3) In the case of an inconsistency between the coordinates in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, Schedule 1 takes precedence – see Clause 6.

           (1) commencing at the point of Latitude 10° 00' 00" South, Longitude 142° 56' 28" East;

           (2) thence east along that parallel to its intersection by the meridian of Longitude 143° 04' 24" East;

           (3) thence north-easterly along the geodesic
