Take only the food you need
Sustain life in our waterways. When taking food from the sea or freshwater don't overdo it!
Take only what you need and stay within the legal limits.
Release your catch unharmed if you don't need it for food.
If gathering your own bait, take only what you need and turn back all the rocks you have moved.
Report any instances of poaching, such as the taking of undersized crayfish or paua, to Ministry of Fisheries.
