Proclamation of Fishery Limits (L.N. 16/78).

"With effect from the 1st day of January 1979 the fishery limits of Tuvalu shall be a line drawn so that each point thereon is two hundred (22) nautical miles measured from the low-water mark of the seaward side of the reef fronting the coast of any island in Tuvalu bounding any lagoon waters adjacent to such coast or, when a reef is not present, from the low-water mark of the coast itself: Provided that in the event of such line intersecting a line drawn similarly by any other State or Territory, the fishery limits of Tuvalu shall be a median line (or such other line as may be agreed between the Government of Tuvalu and such State or territory) drawn between the limits of the territorial waters of Tuvalu and the territorial waters of such State or Territory". "Her Majesty will exercise the same exclusive rights in respect of fisheries within the said fishery limits as she has in respect of the territorial sea of Tuvalu..."
