(a) Unless otherwise specified in this chapter, the regulations in this chapter that apply to fishing for Dungeness crab in a registration area or registration district also apply to fishing for Dungeness crab in the adjacent waters of the exclusive economic zone.
(b) The commissioner may suspend the application of the regulations in this chapter to all or to a portion of the waters of the exclusive economic zone that are adjacent to a Dungeness crab registration area or to a Dungeness crab registration district if the commissioner finds that
(1) application of the regulations to the zone will not facilitate the enforcement of regulations in the registration area or district;
(2) application of the regulations to the zone will not protect or conserve Dungeness crab stocks inhabiting the registration area or district; or
(3) the state has an insufficient interest in Dungeness crab that inhabit the waters of the adjacent exclusive economic zone to warrant extending the state's jurisdiction to those waters.
(c) For purposes of this section, "exclusive economic zone" means all the waters adjacent to a Dungeness crab registration area and seaward to a boundary that is a line drawn in such a manner that each point on it is 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured.
