New Zealand rock lobsters found around our coastline and offshore islands, are referred to as “crayfish”, a name more correctly applied to freshwater species. They are often fished by commercial, recreational and by Maori customary fishers. The sustainable management of our rock lobster fisheries is supported by an extensive research programme and an enforcement and compliance regime. current 23 May 2013
This code of practice is a summary of the recreational (amateur) fishing laws of New Zealand as they relate to diving for scallops and dredge oysters. It is intended to provide guidance to recreational fishers on the regulations governing the harvest of these shellfish. However, this code does not replace the relevant provisions in Fisheries legislation and is intended as a guide only. You should also be aware that there may be changes in the law from time to time. current 23 May 2013

Jackson Bay recorded its highest levels of settlement since 1999. At Gisborne and Napier, settlement was the second and third lowest on record respectively. current 17 May 2013
