To be honest it has been a them and us scenario until I saw the results of one permit for a very small group of families issued for Xmas Dinner festivities. There are 50 crays, paua, scollies in the pic And the holy grail I was under the impression Toheroa were a no take spieces, the permit for these was issued for 300, no I did not see the 300 but those on the plate were part of it. We keep hearing about how these people know how to manage the resource, to my mind that is complete bullsh*t. I was some what annoyed when one of the gathering party was rubbing it into youse honkies how they can do what they like. What do you think. Cheers |

Alan L wrote: The regular rules do not apply to Customary take. No size limits either. What is the point of having legal sizes for paua/crays etc, when you can take everything. You don't have to be brown to get a permit either. I know a guy at our end of town that gets one regular - for family gatherings. Undersize crays/paua no problem. Rest of the yr he has to measure like the rest of us. Regards Alan |

Alan L wrote: But they can prescribe any size - correct? In which case preserving the future breeding stock is not a consideration. Alan |
