of Fisheries
2005
Review
Decision
The Minister has agreed
with many of the submissions to the regulation review to allow for
up to two extra bag limits of scallops or dredge oysters for those
acting as safety people on board while another is diving. The decision
by the Minister, Jim Anderton, is linked to below
along with the Ministry of Fisheries Final Advice Paper.
Regulation
Review
The Ministry of Fisheries
is currently undertaking a review of some aspects of the Amateur
Fishing Regulations. The review concerns the amateur daily bag limit
of scallops taken from the Coromadel area, the primary taker regime,
counting and measuring scallops at the first opportunity, catch
methods for crayfish, possession of mussels and paua with UBA and
the shucking of scallops at sea.
The Initial Position Paper
(IPP) that includes the proposals for these regulations was released
on 8th July 2005.
