Consultation On Proposed Measures For The Canterbury- Kaikōura Pāua Fishery

Fisheries New Zealand is seeking public feedback on a draft Pāua Fisheries Plan and a proposed subdivision of the pāua fishery along the Kaikōura and Canterbury coasts, known as the PAU3 quota management area.

“Splitting the quota management area into two parts, north and south, would allow Fisheries New Zealand to set up specific rules for each area and better deal with the specific pressures in each fishery,” says Director Fisheries Management, Emma Taylor.

“The 2016 earthquakes fundamentally changed the nature of this fishery, causing an uplift to the seabed in the northern portion of the fishery. We responded at the time by reducing catch limits across the whole of the PAU3 quota management area to give the pāua a chance to rebuild.

“The southern portion of the fishery is doing well, and we want to make sure people can continue to use it sustainably.

“The draft Pāua Fisheries Plan has been developed by PAU3 Industry Association Incorporated (PauaMAC3) on behalf of quota owners and harvesters in the area, and with the involvement and support of Ngāi Tahu, Te Korowai, and Fisheries New Zealand.

“The draft plan looks to ensure this area is protected from undue fishing pressure, while setting up rules to ensure we’d need good evidence to reopen the fishery in the future, and we could act quickly to close it again if we need to.

The two consultations are now open and people have until 2 July 2020 to make submissions. Information about the consultations, including the draft Pāua Fisheries Plan, and how to make submissions is available on the Fisheries New Zealand website:

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
