2. The areas of the sea in Gilbert Bay comprised of the management zones described below — and depicted in the schedule — are together designated as the Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area:

• (a) Zone 1A, consisting of waters lying generally northwest of a rhumb line connecting points at 52°38′56″N, 55°59′28″W and 52°37′43″N, 55°59′36″W, that are within an area of the sea bounded by the low-water line of the bay and by the rhumb line to its points of intersection with the low-water line;

• (b) Zone 1B, consisting of waters lying generally southwest of a rhumb line connecting points at 52°37′00″N, 55°58′07″W and 52°36′49″N, 55°57′45″W, that are within an area of the sea bounded by the low-water line of the bay and by the rhumb line to its points of intersection with the low-water line;

• (c) Zone 2, consisting of waters that are within an area of the sea bounded by the low-water line of the bay and by the following rhumb lines to their respective points of intersection with the low-water line, namely,

  • (i) a line connecting points at 52°38′56″N, 55°59′28″W and 52°37′43″N, 55°59′36″W,

  • (ii) a line connecting points at 52°37′00″N, 55°58′07″W and 52°36′49″N, 55°57′45″W, and

  • (iii) a line connecting points at 52°36′16″N, 55°52′19″W and 52°35′38″N, 55°52′20″W; and

• (d) Zone 3, consisting of waters that are within an area of the sea bounded by the low-water line of the bay and by the following rhumb lines to their respective points of intersection with the low-water line, namely,

  • (i) a line connecting points at 52°36′16″N, 55°52′19″W and 52°35′38″N, 55°52′20″W,

  • (ii) a line connecting points at 52°36′17″N, 55°48′59″W and 52°36′09″N, 55°48′59″W,

  • (iii) a line connecting points at 52°33′17″N, 55°46′27″W and 52°32′59″N, 55°46′58″W, and
