Environmental Defence Society (EDS)’s Post

EDS has submitted on FNZ’s proposals for managing rock lobster (crayfish) in the Hauraki Gulf, Coromandel, and Bay of Plenty fishery (CRA 2). Some of the proposals are positive. EDS strongly supports the need to close the inner Hauraki Gulf and set a higher long-term management target for the stock. However, none of the proposals go far enough to rebuild depleted crayfish populations and restore degraded kelp forests in the wider fishery. We have requested a suite of stronger protective measures to provide for effective ecosystem-based management.   Read the full submission via the link below: https://lnkd.in/eAK2ASJE
