| Kahawai for all New Zealanders |
|
Recreational and customary fishers have battled for years to ensure fisheries managers leave more kahawai in the water and make sufficient allowance for non-commercial fishing interests. There is guarded hope......... |
| Will the mighty kahawai ever be plentiful? |
An Update from the Hokianga Accord, the mid north iwi fisheries forum. The Accord supports the joint kahawai submission to MFish. Kahawai need to be protected from industrial harvesting and stocks need to be restored......
|
| Should we be scared? |
In Update 136 option4 agree that more decisive action needs to be taken due to the lack of information on kahawai numbers. option4 cautions the Minister against claims of 'best available information', especially when that data is contrary to what is being observed out on the water. .............
|
| More or less kahawai? |
Hokianga Accord Update 34 reiterates the mid north iwi fisheries forum's goal of 'more fish in the water'. Rebuilding kahawai numbers will go some way towards restoring depleted seabird and mammal populations.........
|
| Cautiously optimistic kahawai proposals |
|
option4 are fully supportive of the Minister of Fisheries making a bold decision for the future management of kahawai.
option4 also support commercial allocations for kahawai being reduced to cover inevitable bycatch only.
No purse seining!
