(a) that the fishery (being a fishery wholly or partly in the coastal waters of the State) is to be managed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth; or
(b) that the fishery (being a fishery wholly or partly in waters on the seaward side of the coastal waters of the State) is to be managed in accordance with the law of the State.
(2) If, under an arrangement, a fishery is to be managed in
accordance with the law of a State, the arrangement may, if required by the
Commonwealth, provide for giving effect to Australia's obligations under
international law (including international agreements) in relation to the
fishery.
