To change the Fishing Quota Management System

I feel NZ fishing quotas are very unfair

I think the quota system is fine but we need to look at the numbers and practices so as to ensure that our children and children's children can go fishing.

Don't really know a whole lot about this, to be honest.

If someone could provide me with a reasonable argument as to why the current system is not fair, I may change my vote.

I live miles from the ocean so a fishing trip is a big undertaking ie petrol, a place to stay. To limit the recreational fisherman to 7 snapper per day is unfair. I think the quota system needs an overhaul

Living miles from the ocean when the opportunity come along to go fishing on the coast, if I'm lucky and the fish are biting to only bring home 10 or 7 snapper depending on the area fished is some expensive fish & unfair on my family

I don't have any issues with the current system.

The quota is unfair! Commercial trawlers rape our country of seafood and send it overseas & because the stocks are declining we (recreational fishers) get blamed for stock levels going down. People without boats are lucky to catch even one snapper

The big players need taken in hand, not so worried about the small fishers. If proper control is shown to the trawlers then there would be no need to lower private fishermen quotas.

We need 3 types of quotas. not 2

1. Survival fishing. What you and house can eat.
2. Community Fishing.
3. Commercial Fishing.
