Open Zones and limits from the sidebar. Each row is a zone with its limit, the shore node that measures it, and its captures, breaches and compliance over 30 days. Compliance is the share of captures within the limit.

Open the Approach. The map shows the zone as drawn round the channel. An admin can change it with Edit the shape, or draw one where the water is not a circle.

Last 30 days gives captures, breaches and compliance, with breaches per day underneath. The rule shows the limit, where it comes from and the node that measures it.

Choose Edit zone and change the limit, here to 5 knots. A note says the new limit takes effect when you save; captures before then keep the limit they were judged against.

Choose Save zone. The confirm names the old and new limit and the time it takes effect. Confirm with Save zone. Sealed records are never judged again.

Choose Report for this zone. Build a report opens on Reports with the Approach already chosen, ready for a compliance report.
