These regulations, which come into force on 9 July 2015, amend the Fisheries (Southland and Sub-Antarctic Areas Commercial Fishing) Regulations 1986 (the principal regulations). These regulations—
prohibit commercial fishers from taking or possessing rock lobsters from Upokopotete (Potted Head); and
prohibit commercial fishers from taking or possessing kina from 31 areas; and
prohibit commercial fishers from taking or possessing paua from 26 areas; and
make the breach of any of the prohibitions made by these regulations an offence under regulation 16(2) of the principal regulations (and therefore punishable by a fine not exceeding $100,000).
The purpose of the amendments made by these regulations is to protect the customary, non-commercial food gathering of paua, kina, and rock lobster by the Titi Islands birding community.
