MAKE A SUBMISSION ON THE COMMERCIALISATION OF MARLIN AND 19 REEF FISH SPECIES NOW!

We need your help. The government has proposed to let commercial fishers keep and sell marlin by-catch that arrive to the boat dead.

Marlin in New Zealand waters have been a non-commercial species since the 1990s, protected to support the coastal communities, clubs and small towns that rely on the tourism and economic activity they generate. Opening the door for commercial sales would change that overnight, and once it happens, there is no going back.
