Kahawai
Doomed?
Stop the Madness!!
The Ministry of
Fisheries (MFish) are going to ignore the public’s concerns
about kahawai. This will result in our kahawai fishery as we once
knew it being lost forever. This is theft – the dishonest
taking of a public resource with no intention of returning it.
- Mismanagement of kahawai has seen a decline in numbers
and size of fish available.
- Non-commercial fishers want access to a healthy kahawai
fishery restored for customary and recreational use.
- The low value commercial use of kahawai for catfood,
fishmeal and cray bait is unacceptable.
- The Ministry should discount the targeted purse seine
catch history of kahawai before deciding how much quota
should be given to commercial fishers.
- The non-commercial sector acknowledge the unavoidable
bycatch of kahawai.
- The Minister of Fisheries should acknowledge the importance
of kahawai to the public by allowing for a rebuild of
the kahawai stocks.
