Matt Rayner explains that allowing some fishing in proposed High Protection Areas overlooks the complex interdependencies in Gulf ecosystems.
The Hauraki Gulf Forum commissioned this report on the potential impacts of exotic Caulerpa
While scientists are diligently working on technology to eradicate exotic Caulerpa, a surprising discovery has been made – a new species of snail nestled within the weed.

As co-chair, I’m honoured to champion two new marine science awards that empower the next generation of scientists dedicated to protecting and understanding Te Moananui a Toi, the Hauraki Gulf.” 🐳 🐟
Sorry to sound like a wet blanket on your anniversary. BUT ! when is someone OR SOMETHING ! going to put forward the big push for more of the Hauraki Gulf turned into marine reserve ?? not park ! Its been smash to bits by commercial fishing and now been hammered by recreational fishing. I drove passed a boat ramp in east Auckland a few months ago and there must have been over 100 boat trailers on uts and SUVs at this one boat ramp. Not enough is been done to protect the Gulf and the Upper Harbour !!

Exotic caulerpa is the name for two species of fast-spreading seaweeds that can grow rapidly, smothering our sea-beds. It can also affect fishing, boating, and cultural activities, making it a serious...1 CommentComment on Facebook
The way things are going with overfishing both commercial and recreational exotic Caulerpa might be the only living plant / marine algae left in our seas around the North Island. I drove passed the Kawakawa Bay Boating Club boat ramp last weekend there must have been over 100 ! fishing boat trailers on Double cab Utes and SUVs. I have a theory exotic Caulerpa has been here in NZ for a long time but not been able to survive our cold winters. But with the help from man made marine heat waves it has, and is doing very well from it. I would like to see catch limits on recreational fishing boats limited to the number of fish caught by that one boat, and not to the per person limit we have now. Would like to see a 60% marine reserves of all NZ coast line and much more protection for our HIGHLY INDANGERD !! marine mammals. And stronger policing of these reserves.
