Fees. No applicant for a recreational marine fishing registration shall be required to pay a fee for such registration. 5. Exemption from requirement of recreational marine fishing registration. a. Minors under the age of sixteen may take fish as if they held a recreational marine fishing registration. b. Recreational fishing passengers on a marine and coastal district party or charter boat licensed and registered pursuant to section 13-0336 of this title may take fish as if they held a recreational marine fishing registration. 6. Recreational marine fishing registration data. a. The department is authorized to collect data on holders of recreational marine fishing registrations, which shall include but not be limited to, a registrant's name, address and date of birth. b. Registration holder data collected by the department or available to the department shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed except as required to comply with section 401(g) of the Magnuson-Stevens fisheries management and conservation act (16 U.S.C. 1881), as may be amended from time to time, or by court order, except that the department may release or make public any statistics in an aggregate or summary form which does not make it possible to identify any person who submits such data. The department may prescribe such procedures as may be necessary to preserve such confidentiality. 7. Reciprocity in boundary waters.
