Tama Potaka: The Hauraki Gulf Protection Bill changes are needed

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

The Government has announced changes to the Hauraki Gulf Protection Bill, including 19 new marine protection areas, while allowing limited ring-net fishing to continue for some fishers.  The new areas would almost triple the number of spaces protected, but the Government has come under fire for still allowing ring-net fishing.  Opposition parties and conservation groups have pushed back, saying allowing ring-net fishing would undermine a decade of work.  Minister of Conservation Tama Potaka joins Tim Beveridge to discuss further.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
