Hi just wondering if anyone knows of any spots to pick kinas or paua in the Auckland area or even a hour drive out of Auckland,thanks all

Been hunting around for a few yrs now
 Kina.. well bloody stuff is damn near everywhere chewing up the kelp beds faster than they grow...
But shell fish... found a rock couple yrs back.. the mother load, been carefully farming it ... not laying areas bear...legal limit 25 only..
Then last March.. it and the surrounding area totally stripped out... no  raped.. at least 2 or 3 wool bails gone .. there one week gone later weeks later ... alternate weeks as that when low tides cycle....
And had kept that pretty close to the chest.
Apologies for the slightly aggressive post above, but from my exaple, you will understand the vehement we have.
If it wasnt for the very small minority who rape and pillage our resources , commercial and rec.. all would be good.

Army bay whangaparoa plenty of kina
