"Protected Fish and Sea Creatures in New Zealand Waters"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You can find a list of fish and other sea creatures that are protected by law. These creatures are divided into groups like vertebrates, invertebrates, and seaweeds. The law says which areas of the sea these creatures can be found in. You will see many types of fish, like basking sharks and hammerhead sharks, on this list. There are also other sea creatures like mussels, crabs, and sea anemones. Some types of seaweed are on the list too. The areas where you can find these creatures are numbered from 1 to 10. This helps people know where they can and cannot fish or collect these creatures, as per the rules in the Fisheries Act 1996, specifically sections like ss 17B(5), 19(2A), and 93.
