8 March 2006, Fish and Game New Zealand seeks extension of coastal review to inland waterways
Fish and Game wants the recent decision to review the coastal development rules to be extended to all of New Zealand's inland waterways. Director Bryce Johnson says New Zealand's freshwater bodies are "under pressure from rampant development, degradation by increasing intensive agriculture, demands for electricity generation, and exclusion of the general public through private capture of access rights". He says the freshwater resource, and public access to it, is degraded and remains largely unprotected and "high level protection of this finite and irreplaceable resource is urgently required." See "Scoop" publication of press release.
