Hundreds submit on Fisheries proposal to manage shellfish in Auckland, Coromandel

More than 300 people have submitted feedback to Fisheries New Zealand as part of a review into shellfish gathering in Auckland and Coromandel.

Last month, the regulator announced it was reviewing management measures for recreational shellfish harvesting in the area after ongoing concerns about over-harvesting.

Two weeks ago, it started accepting public submissions on options for proposed intertidal closures and changes to recreational daily limits.

Fisheries confirmed to RNZ it had received 368 public submissions as of Tuesday morning.

Public consultation closes on the 12th of June.
