Fishery patrols in Northland

Two Fishery Officers carried out a combined sea patrol with New Zealand Customs Service focused on the commercial fishing fleet as well as any inshore static gear sitting in the small nooks and crannies of Northland. The five-day patrol saw them head from Whangarei to Houhora, pulling a number of commercial and recreational crayfish pots and nets and checking all the closed areas. Only one unmarked commercial crayfish pot was seized, which was pleasing to see. There was a number of unmarked recreational nets and pots seized for various reasons.
