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.

Shane Jones doesn’t have any idea the damage he is about to cause to the Gulf. We, the locals who have fished here for generations, have seen the serious demise and we ALL understand it has to be fixed.
