in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can work with U.S. and foreign agencies, private groups, and other Convention countries to carry out this chapter. Federal agencies can help with science and staff. The Secretary can still run research fishing, and states keep whatever authority they have over their own waters.

(a) Working with others. The Secretary may cooperate with U.S. government agencies, public or private groups in the U.S. or abroad, and — through the Secretary of State — officials of other governments that are party to the South Pacific Fishery Resources Convention, in carrying out duties under this chapter. (b) Federal help. If the Secretary asks, any federal agency may cooperate on scientific and other programs and provide facilities and staff to help the Commission do its work under the Convention. (c) Research fishing is still allowed. Nothing in this chapter, or in any state's laws or regulations, stops the Secretary or the Commission from (1) running or authorizing fishing and biological research at any time, or (2) carrying out any other duty the Convention assigns them. (d) State authority unchanged. Nothing in this chapter reduces or expands any state's authority over its own territorial sea.
