We’ve been going hell for leather, encouraging everyone fired up about Shane Jones’s industry pandering to turn that energy into submissions, and it’s paying off.

The Minister’s decisions for crayfish between on the northeast coast between Te Arai Point and East Cape (CRA 2) and in the deep south (CRA 7) just dropped, and despite heavy industry pressure to bump up commercial catches, we scored a “no change” for the South Island and NI northeast coast crayfish areas. That’s a win for sustainability and a powerful reminder of how strong we can be when we all speak up together, so thank you to all of you who made a submission!
