Update – 9 August 2023
The Hauraki Gulf Fisheries Plan has been approved by the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries.
The development and implementation of a Hauraki Gulf Fisheries Plan is one of the key actions in Revitalising the Gulf. The plan sets out an ecosystem-based approach to managing fisheries, and the effects of fishing, within the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana / Te Moananui-ā-Toi. It is the first area-based fisheries plan approved under the Fisheries Act 1996.
Fisheries New Zealand worked with the Hauraki Gulf Fisheries Plan Advisory Group to incorporate feedback from tangata whenua and views from public consultation to produce the final version of the plan.
