1 The limits of the fisheries zone for Bermuda established by a Proclamation of the Acting Governor published in the Gazette on the 11th day of March, 1972 are hereby altered and extended so that the said fisheries zone shall have as its inner boundary the outer limits of the territorial sea of Bermuda and as its seaward boundary a line so drawn that each point upon it is 200 nautical miles from the nearest point on the low water line on the coast or other baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.

2 Her Majesty will exercise the same exclusive rights in respect of fisheries in the said fisheries zone as she has in the territorial sea of Bermuda, subject to such provision as may now or hereafter be made by law for the control and regulation of fishing within the said zone.
