for
The
benefit of all
The
People's Submission
|
|
| has been developed in response to
the Ministry of Fisheries' Shared Fisheries proposals for managing
New Zealand's shared fisheries: a public discussion paper. |
|
| |
| Even
though the MFish deadline was 28th February don't let that
stop you from telling them what you think about their plans
to extinguish your current right to fish and replace that
with a limited ability to feed your family. |

| Submit
now and support the team who are working hard to protect your
fishing future. |

are saying hands off our rights!! |

The submission has been
developed over the past few months and sets out to demonstrate that:
- The Fisheries Act 1996 already contains the fisheries management
tools and mechanisms to rebuild and manage our inshore fisheries;
- Proportional allocation is not the solution for rebuilding our
fisheries;
- Claims from recreational fishers for less pressure on our fisheries
will ease if the proposals in this submission are implemented
and fish stocks increase to provide abundance;
- Cooperative strategies that bring together recreational, traditional,
commercial, government and other interests will provide maximum
benefit from fisheries.

| Big thank you to everyone who provided us with
feedback to the Preliminary View on the MFish's Shared Fisheries
document. Your valuable input has enabled us to put together
a comprehensive response to the Ministry of Fisheries plans
to redefine your right to fish. |

wait, do it NOW. It's easy.................................................. |

The People's Submission
is made up of 3 parts:
Part 1
- “Setting the Scene” – This backgrounds our submission
and we expect will be of
particular interest to the Minister of Fisheries, the
Ministry and their consultants.
Part 2
– Summary statements and introduction to supporting
papers.
Part 3
– The People's Submission Background Papers that respond to
the proposals
contained within the Shared Fisheries public discussion
document. Additional
papers are submitted to include discussion on related management
topics.
