a. the outer boundary being 12 nautical miles from the shore; and
b. the inner boundary being the line of mean high water springs, except where the line crosses a river, in which case the inner boundary is deemed to be the landward boundary of the Coastal Marine Area as defined in the Regional Coastal Plan for Northland.
