nzherald.co.nz

The Ahipara hapū are considering a rāhui to protect local pāua stocks from overfishing. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will support their efforts if they decide to impose this restriction. A hui was held at Korou Kore Marae, attended by around 300 people from various hapū and the community. Concerns were raised about excessive pāua harvesting, with some permits allowing up to 400 pāua to be taken from a small coastal area. Community leader Reuben Taipari emphasized the need for collaboration to address the ongoing overfishing issue. The hui aimed to find a solution to protect the pāua stock for future generations.
