I made this sign to help the Tāmaki Estuary Protection Society enforce the set net ban. I am uploading it here so that the map in particular is easily found on the internet.
Set nets are banned in the Tāmaki Estuary. Set nets indiscriminately catch non- target fish species; birds and mammals. There has been a recent increase in illegal set netting in the Tāmaki Estuary, please help protect our fisheries and other wildlife.
If you see a set net within the banned area:
- Please urgently contact 0800 4 POACHER (0800 47 6224)
- Please report the set net location details and any vehicle license plate. Photos and details can be emailed to poacher@mpi.govt.nz
Your kaitiakitanga will be appreciated by generations to come, kia kaha!
