4/3 was written as calendar days and any fishing within a 24 hr calendar day counts as a full day. QIN fish based upon 24 hr openings but not to the calendar. In Sunday noon 1 day / Monday day 2 / Tuesday day 3 out at noon. 3 24 hr openings but occupy parts of 4 calendar days. This leaves 3 calendar days net free.

That is why calendrer days was used in a week. So the agency could not claim 3 24 hr periods amounted to days and then stuff NT in right behind them. QIN traditionally open at noon Sunday which only effects afternoon tidal fisheries to South Monte on day one. The last day they pull at noon which allows tidal fisheries full access but does effect above South Monte as the fish numbers take time to travel tidal reach.

Same thing when they fish 4 24 hr periods. They occupy parts of 5 calender days but fish 4 24 hr periods. The Qin are not bound by the GHMP but have stayed resonably close to the intent.
