Thread: Our MPI - fisheries devision

So over the past two years as I have, emailed and replied to the request for submissions ..I have now started to receive e-mails and updates in regards to changes in the fishery throughout NZ...I would like to use this post as a information sharing area as I receive it ...like it or hate it ...I would rather you send the fishery team an e-mail as I do rather! I understand this thread could easily turn political and ask that the respondents take time with their thoughts and comments!

My aim is to share information and opportunities to expresse thoughts ideas options to MPI as they manage our fishery.
