The Fiordland Marine Guardians have welcomed widespread changes to the area’s recreational fishing rules, announced on Wednesday by the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Hon. Shane Jones. The new rules take effect on April 25th. The Guardians have advocated strongly for the changes and have been working with the community for several years to define the problems and develop solutions.
Would you like to better understand Fiordland’s marine environment?
The Guardians and Department of Conservation invite you to join us for a special afternoon in Te Anau, where marine scientists will be sharing their latest findings and insights.
No less than three years after we began investigating concerns of over-fishing in the Fiordland (Te Moana o Atawhenua) Marine Area, we are pleased to announce new recreational fishing rules for the Fiordland Marine Area (FMA).
Environment Minister David Parker recently appointed a new Fiordland Marine Guardian and re-appointed two existing Guardians. Dr Simon Childerhouse has joined the Guardians, while Ali Ballantine and Pete Young have been re-appointed.
