A rahui was placed on Maunganui Bay from yesterday for two years. Both Ngati Kuta and Patukeha hapu as kaitiaki of Rakaumangamanga and under customary lore have an obligation to ensure abundance of the fishery. Maunganui Bay is void of a healthy fishery. It needs time to regenerate the resident fish populations and there-after a sustainable harvest approach. The rahui will remain in place for two years.

‘While Stocks Last’ is a report, commissioned by Greenpeace. It exposes a disturbing picture of New Zealand’s commercial fisheries and seafood sector. It makes a link between the sustainability of our fisheries and the procurement policies of our supermarkets. It is a wake-up call to all of us; the hard truth is if we continue on in the way we’re going, there will be no fish left for future generations. We must change the way in which we treat the oceans, for the sake of everyone – the fishing industry, our fishing communities and our children.

This is a High Court judgment of Harrison J delivered in 2007. The case concerned judicial review proceedings brought by groups representing recreational and commercial fishing interests, challenging the Minister of Fisheries’ allocation decisions of the TAC and TACC for kahawai in 2004 and 2005. Harrison J found the Minister’s 2004 decision to be unlawful to the extent he failed to have proper regard to the social, cultural and economic well-being of the people in fixing the TAC for kahawai, he failed to have regard to ss 7 and 8 of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000 and failed to consider advice from MFish to review bag catch limits for recreational fishers. He directed the Minister to review his 2005 decision in light of these findings.
