Submissions close 5PM Today 3 March For Proposed Changes to Hauraki Gulf and Coromandel Fishing
Written by John Grant on March 3, 2023
You only have till 5pm today to complete a submission on the proposed Hauraki Gulf Fisheries Plan from Fisheries New Zealand that if it proceeds as planned will allow bottom trawling and scallop dredging, fishing methods that The Hauraki Gulf Alliance say are destructive to our precious seafloor habitats.
