Fisheries Regulations
The Amateur Fishing Regulations control the activities of the public who fish for food. The public includes Maori when they are not fishing for the purposes of their marae and exercising their very powerful customary fishing rights.
Any changes to fisheries regulations impact on our right to go fishing for food.
