MPI encourages use of fishing app

The Ministry of Primary Industries wants recreational fishers to check fishery rules on the NZ Fishing Rules App this summer.

“The key thing to remember is that the rules can and do change.

You can’t rely on your knowledge of last summer’s rules to see you through.

For example, rules have changed over the last year for blue cod, crayfish and set netting,” national manager fisheries compliance Gareth Jay says.
