How this was determined (model-generated): Marine Surveyor: ER's generic 'registration or licensing is required' line is the ANZSCO group boilerplate; marine surveying in NZ is not a uniformly licensed role (varies by accreditation/employer), so licence is may_be_required, not a universal core gate.
