None of the funds made available by this Act or any other appropriations Act may be used by the Secretary of Commerce to manage fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico unless such management is subject to the boundaries for coastal States set out under subsection (b). Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the purpose of fisheries management the seaward boundary of a coastal State in the Gulf of Mexico is a line 9 nautical miles seaward from the baseline from which the territorial sea of the United States is measured.
