…. may face charges???!!!!
In Rushy law they would be force fed the shells.
Rushy me old china...you getting soft in your golden years. Set afloat on tyre tube over paua grounds holding round metal plate in hands for armed forces to use as a gong ,now that sounds more fitting to me....sending message and giving back to ocean at same time.
That's disgusting and clearly for financial reward.
IMO likely to face charges means they are building a case and sorting out how many charges they can hit them with.
Forfiture of the boat and any vehicles associated with the crime (because that's what it is) should have been immediate
or enacted already (the boat anyway).
Kai moana rights?
There should be real harsh consequences for arseholes like this. I can think of a few choice spots off the Chathams or Stewart where they could be dropped off after a couple of hours of burley.
MD….question….. aren’t you supposed to be able to identify yourself/whanau etc etc that you have those rights if your approached by DOC/Fisheries…????etc
Not sure or familiar with the process… as I only take whats legal and have not been approached to show my catch by either
It was an area of controversy when I was fish n game ranger.... There was no loop hole for those game... Sea food can be different but I BELIEVE you supposed to belong to tribe who's patch fishing is done in... Open to abuse... 1800 is a mockery and no way they thought were doing it legally... That's rape n pillage pure n simple.
