Legasea needs to become pro active,as it is your a reactionary group..To survive you have to have Independence and not ask NZ SFC before you do anything .A stand alone group not beholding to anyone or group of people ( eg seachange)You have the numbers come up with a plan . At the moment with these consultation processes be it MPI or Seachange they give you 3 boxes to tick ..need to move away from playing lip service ...My thoughts only |

The only way they are going to seriously make a dent in the Black market crayfish is to have a hell of a lot more Fisheries Officers, surveillance etc and that costs money and trying to get money for that from government is like trying to get blood out of a stone. |
Isnt it about time the Council enforced its own bylaws ??
Or have they been brought out by the Commercial fishing company's. As a rate payer,home owner also like everyone else have to abide by the Council bylaws .. it is time Council enforced what they have written without any excuses why they cant ..
Seachange is one thing with their proposals... But this bylaw has been in place long before Sea-change.. I wonder what Council gets as back handers to shut their eyes to illegal fishing by Commercial in the Hauraki Gulf.........?????

Sections 12(1)(c) and (e) of the RMA state that no person may, in the coastal marine area, destroy, damage or disturb the foreshore or seabed in a manner that has or is likely to have an adverse effect on the foreshore or seabed, or on plants or animals or their habitat Isnt it about time the Council enforced its own bylaws ?? |

Exactly, this is the reason the Concession was introduced in the first place (and not some deliberate plot to screw recreational fishers as perceived by some!) So rather than a pissing contest between Commercial and Recreational interests, why not focus on the REAL issue which is the illegal plunder of 80 tons per annum. You can bet those responsible for the illegal harvest have no respect whatsoever for minimum size and/or daily bag limits. Both Legasea and MPI in the Fisheries for the Future are both strangely silent on the issue of illegal take. |

Will cameras/monitoring the waste issue overcome the problem?no The commercial fleet needs to move outside little/Gt Barrier,out of sight out of mind and they can then destroy their own fishing grounds.How do we achieve this without a public demonstration like the nuclear issue?Job for "Greenpeace"?? |
