For the purposes of regulation (50) the west coast rock lobster zones comprise the following zones:

(a)Zone A — the area between a line in the north (approximately 234 degrees true bearing) drawn from the mouth of the Orange River, as indicated on sea chart SAN FZ1, and a line in the south drawn from the mouth of the Brak River (270 degrees true bearing), and is divided into the following two areas:
(i)area 1 — between, as northern boundary, a line (approximately 234 degrees true bearing) drawn from the mouth of the Orange River and as southern boundary, a line drawn from the mouth of the Buffels River (270 degrees true bearing); and :
(ii)area 2 — between, as northern boundary, a line (true bearing 270 degrees) drawn from the mouth of the Buffels River and, as southern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the mouth of the Brak River;
(b)Zone B — the area between a line in the north (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the mouth of the Brak River, and a line in the south (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the water tower at Dwarskersbos, and is divided into the following two areas:
(i)area 3 — between, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the Brak River mouth and, as southern boundary, a line directly in line with two beacons situated on the southern side of Kreefbaai; and
(ii)area 4 — between, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn in line with two beacons situated on the southern side of Kreefbaai and, as southern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the water tower at Dwarskersbos;
(c)Zone C — the area between a line in the north (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the water tower at Dwarskersbos, and a line in the south (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the beacon marked YF, situated at Yzerfontein, and is divided into the following two areas:
(i)area 5 — between, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the water tower at Dwarskersbos and, as southern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from Jacobs Bay; and
(ii)area 6 — between, as northern boundary a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from Jacobs Bay and, as southern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the beacon marked YF situated at Yzerfontein;
(d)Zone D — the area between a line in the north (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the beacon marked YF mentioned in respect of Zone C above and a line in the south (180 degrees true bearing) drawn from the lighthouse at Cape Hangklip, excluding the area described as Zone E, and is divided into the following two areas:
(i)area 7 — between, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the beacon marked YF mentioned in respect of zone C above and, as southern boundary, the northern beacon MB1 of the west coast rock lobster sanctuary at Melkbos Point; and
(ii)area 8 — between, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the beacon HD1 of the Cape Peninsula west coast rock lobster sanctuary and, as southern boundary, a line (180 degrees true bearing) drawn from the lighthouse at Cape Hangklip; and
(e)Zone E — the area north of a straight line drawn from the lighthouse at Cape Point to the lighthouse at Cape Hangklip excluding the area within one nautical mile from the high-water mark in the area bounded by, as northern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the mouth of the Buffels River and, as southern boundary, a line (270 degrees true bearing) drawn from the lighthouse at Cape Hangklip.
(f)Zone F — the area east of a straight line (180° true bearing) drawn from the lighthouse at Cape Hangklip as the western boundary and a straight line (180° true bearing) drawn from the lighthouse at Danger Point as the eastern boundary, and is divided into the following three areas:
(i)area 12 — the area between a line drawn due south (180° true bearing) at beacon B4 (Jock-se-baai) and a line drawn due south (180° true bearing) of the Kleinmond lagoon;
(ii)area 13 — the area between a line drawn due south (180° true bearing) at Mudge Point and a line drawn due south (180° true bearing) of the beacon HR2 at Rietfontein ; and
