§7807 Cooperation in Carrying Out the Convention

Summary

Allows the Secretary to work with U.S. government agencies, state governments, and public or private groups at home or abroad, and, through the Secretary of State, with officials of countries party to the South Pacific Fishery Resources Convention to carry out duties under the law. Federal agencies may help, if the Secretary asks, by running scientific programs or providing people and facilities to assist the Commission. Nothing here stops the Secretary or the Commission from doing or allowing fishing operations or biological experiments for scientific study or from doing other duties the Convention requires. This law does not change any State’s authority in the U.S. territorial sea.
