Thread: Northland Scallop Fishery (SCA1) Full Closure (only it's not!)

One response from Legasea as follows:

Customary right don’t have any value if there are no fish to harvest and most of the issuers of permits understand this. If a Rahui is used as a temporary closure then that will also be respected. Given that in society there are always people who try to circumvent the rules, I am guessing that there will be those that disregard and disrespect what is trying to be achieved which is abundance so we can all have a reasonable feed.

...and another from someone else saying that the didn't know the Customary Allowance at 7.5 tonnes in Northland was going to be continued and they would look in to it further.
