| Management
of Snapper in New Zealand
Contents
Overview
To achieve a good level
of understanding of complex fisheries management scenarios we believe
it is important to read the available data in good order.
The various documents
have been broken up and reorganised by each snapper fishery. This
facilitates downloading as, intact, these documents are big and
unwieldy.
For each fishery management
proposal we have submitted to we present the available information
and our submission alongside others views.
- The Ministry of Fisheries (MFish) management proposal as presented
in the Initial Position Papers (IPPs).
- The Minister of Fisheries' "Preliminary View" letter,
if published.
- Submissions to the IPP from option4 and others, as available.
- The MFish Final Advice Paper (FAP) incorporating stakeholders
submissions.
- The Minister's Final Decision for the species.
- Articles and Letters relating to this fishery, as available.
