CHAPTER 16C--SOUTH PACIFIC TUNA FISHING
Sec. 973k. Closed Area stowage requirements
At all times while a vessel is in a Closed Area, the fishing gear of
the vessel shall be stowed in such a manner as not to be readily
available for fishing. In particular, the boom shall be lowered as far
as possible so that the vessel cannot be used for fishing, but so that
the skiff is accessible for use in emergency situations; the helicopter,
if any, shall be tied down; and launches shall be secured.
