Section 16, which is Part 3, amends section 24 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 by removing the requirement that the chair and members of the Aquaculture Licenses Appeals Board vacate their office on attaining the age of 70 years. Basically, it means that somebody over 70 years can be a member of the appeals board, which I think is absolutely fair.
