Taiapure-local fisheries and customary fishing

185: Power to recommend making of regulations

You could also call this:

"Committees can ask for rules to protect local fisheries"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You can be part of a committee that helps manage a taiapure-local fishery. This committee can ask the Minister to make rules under sections like section 186, section 297, or section 298 to protect the fish and seaweed in that area. These rules can help keep the fishery healthy. If new rules are made because of the committee's request, they can override other rules made under section 297 or section 298. These new rules will apply to the taiapure-local fishery, unless they contradict other rules. The committee's rules can only be made in a specific way. The rules made by the committee cannot stop someone from using a taiapure-local fishery because of their colour, race, or where they come from. They also cannot make someone leave a fishery for these reasons.
