Regulations
The Amateur Fishing Regulations control the activities of the public
who fish for food. The public includes Maori when they are not fishing
for the purposes of their marae and exercising their very powerful
customary fishing rights. Any changes to fisheries regulations impact
on our right to go fishing for food.
