Fisheries NZ has released documents outlining proposed increases in the total allowable commercial catch (TACC) for rock lobster in the Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Plenty (CRA 2) and around Otago (CRA 7).
Alongside a proposed catch limit increase for Pacific bluefin tuna around all of Aotearoa.
The fisheries team at the New Zealand Sport Fishing Council will have a break over the festive season and then get stuck into developing a response. The submission deadline is 29 January 2025.
We were anticipating a management review of rock lobster around the Gisborne area (CRA 3) but Fisheries NZ advise that it has been delayed until later in 2025.
