Three men are facing prison terms or large fines after there were caught on Monday on the coast south of Titahi Bay with 867 paua.

Fisheries officers observed two of the men in a small motor dingy in rough sea recovering paua thought to have been caught and stashed earlier.

When they swooped on the trio, officers located three large packs containing 81 kilograms of paua, much of it undersize.

They will appear at the Porirua District Court next month.

Ministry for Primary Industries compliance manager Mike Green says such a large take can strip an entire area and the stock can take months if not years to recover.

Three pipi gatherers have been jointly fined more than $2500 for taking 1000 pipi from the Whangamata Estuary.

Leonard Charles Barbarich, of Whangamata, John Stanley September, of Papakura, and Steven Mark Powell, of Manukau, appeared in in Thames District Court last week and all pleaded guilty to charges of taking more than three times the daily limit of pipi.

Wonder if their should be a name and shame list.. legally in the forums...both for recs and coms....???
Wonder if there is or should be a black list of those convicted....banned from competitions, even ramps where possible
Sort of like insurance companies do with drink in drive and governments do with overseas visitors ... like Aussie and the US
Consquinces of actions for 10 yrs or so.....
