Protecting seabirds from introduced predators makes a significant impact on our Gulf Island ecosystems, and it’s something which we can all pitch in to help with.

Time for some jail time and revoking citizenships.

Sea level rise combined with land subsidence could see some parts of the Hauraki Gulf catchment go back under water much faster than initially thought, and 1 in 100 year inundation events could become annual.

How about prosecution of amateur fishermen (those with out quota) who sell fish to their friends and associates in their community. Some of own takeaway shops.!!!
Good to see this new rule come in. Especially after hundreds and hundreds of pink maomao were taken last year.
Does OT include shell fish as well? It should!
