Kahawai
Legal Challenge
The
fishing industry continue their ‘scorched earth' approach in challenging
the historic High Court kahawai win [more]
Predictably,
it's off to the Appeal Court as industry file notice of
appeal. The fishing councils have cross appealed [more]
It's
time to celebrate the High Court win that has upheld all New Zealander's
common law right to fish for kahawai and other important
species [more]
Sweet success in High Court's recognition that people's
wellbeing is a mandatory consideration when managing fisheries
[more]
Judge
finds the wellbeing of the people is the priority in the landmark
Kahawai Legal Challenge [more]
We
need at least $80,000!
PLEASE

such an outright victory. Become part of the winning team by contributing
as much as you can.

Shared
Fisheries
The
People's Submission on the Ministry of Fisheries Shared Fisheries
proposals for more fish in the water [more]
If
MFish continue with its blinkered implementation of Shared
Fisheries proposals the outcome could be catastrophic [more]
Let's
get real; the people of this island nation deserve abundant
fisheries and healthy marine systems [more]
Just
get on with giving effect to the Fisheries Act and don't tell us
to give up our right to fish. It is not for sale!
