Recreational shellfish survey in Tauranga Harbour

The intern Wiremu Smith will detail recreational fishing hotspots within Tauranga Harbour, especially shellfish and identify species found at each location. He will also observe fishing activity and approach a selection of harvesters to ask permission to ask them some questions about their fishing activity, and carry out interviews with recreational fishers to build a picture about the total recreational fishing (focus on shellfish) within the Harbour. The final report will help the Tauranga Moana Iwi Customary Fisheries Trust develop its shellfish management plan. The supervisor is Associate Professor Paul Kayes
