in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Any boat or vessel used to break this subchapter's rules can be held liable for the fines. The government can go after the vessel itself in federal court. This is done through a summary legal action called a libel.

Any boat or vessel that's used or employed in violating any provision of this subchapter is liable to the money penalties this subchapter imposes. The government can proceed against that vessel directly, summarily, by way of a legal action called a "libel," in any federal district court that has jurisdiction over it.
