Tarakihi 3 (TAR3)

Adaptive Management Programme Review

2004

The management of Tarakihi 3 (TAR3) and Tarakihi 2 (TAR2) was reviewed during the 'post-April' sustainability round process in 2004. Tarakihi was considered under the review of Adaptive Management Programmes (AMPs) alongside six other species.

An explanation on what AMPs are can be found here » »

Background
The Ministry of Fisheries issued its Initial Position Paper (IPP) for tarakihi, bluenose, elephant fish, john dory, pale ghost shark, school shark and red gurnard in May 2004. Submissions were due by 11 June 2004. The Minister, David Benson-Pope issued his final decision in September 2004. The Ministry of Fisheries's Final Advice Paper (FAP) was released simultaneously.

option4 Input

Due to the focus on the kahawai issue option4 did not have the resources to respond to this process by the submission deadline. We do not believe Adaptive Management Programmes are appropriate management tools to use for inshore shared fisheries. We will be making more comment on AMPs in due course.

Documents

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.

For this fishery management proposal we present the available information:

1. The Ministers Final Decision for the species.
2. The MFish Final Advise Paper (FAP) incorporating stakeholders submissions.
3. The Ministry of Fisheries (MFish) management proposal as presented in the Initial Position Paper (IPP).
4. Submissions to the IPP, as available.
5. Any updates relating to this species.
6. Articles and Letters relating to this fishery, as available.

Tarakihi Areas New Zealand is divided into 10 areas for the management of tarakihi.
