looking at it .I would commercial at this stage.
Maritime NZ has recently shared the interpretation as: “At all times – during the day, during the night, when travelling to and from fishing grounds, fishing, while at anchor, or drifting.”

You have a point there harrytom LegaSea presents a spurious argument against the idea of reporting recreational catch, it seems whats good for the Commercial Fisherman should not apply to the recreational one ..... hypocrisy ?
Quote" To throw away a tried and true method of estimation in favour of something that may never produce what we are hoping for seems foolish and irresponsible. Millions have been invested in developing our current method and to walk away from that would be a terrible waste of valuable resources."
A Tried and True method of estimation" seems like an oxymoron and the defense of the current method based on the "millions spent on it" seems like a Sunk Cost fallacy ie we have spent so much on it now that we must continue so as to justify all that expense.

Well "Farnk" yesterday I made a comment on the "Legasea" facebook page and now have no access to them,not the first to cop such a ban,dont like peoples view points if it goes against there thinking. They are the ones who want public funds so surely public input is important,right or wrong?
There many good ideas around from both commercial and recreational but it seems its all left to few people running "legasea" and its there way or no way.
Oh the comment. They were saying how much free fish heads have been given away and I read recently how "sanfords" had donated x amount to the project. No mention by "legasea" of "Sanfords" generosity, and merely pointed it that they should be thanked as well. Never mind each to their own.

Despite the orcas pushing up against or in at least one case ramming into the boat and nudging or biting at the rudders, there were no injuries or damage to the boats.

But they don't have a requirement for boats to be sea-worthy on moorings.
correct but Auckland does have bylaws which one would thought would be enforced by the harbour masters
The Bylaw seeks to achieve this in Part 2 by specifying general responsibilities of persons within navigable waters and the following specific responsibilities about – • the carriage and wearing of personal flotation devices on recreational vessels • how to undertake certain activities • the use of restricted areas, access lanes, prohibited and restricted anchorages, reserved areas and special reserved areas • when near large vessels, vessels carrying explosive substances or bulk oil, or Explosive Safety Zones • ensuring vessels are seaworthy, identifiable and having appropriate equipment • the need to register personal water craft • the need to get a licence for and to maintain moorings

I think you will find the "brown" stink bug is already established.
aparently not yet,but give it time
The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an agricultural, horticultural, and social pest. It's native to Asia and has spread throughout North America and Europe. It isn't established in New Zealand, but this sneaky pest hitchhikes on passengers and imported goods.

Trailer yachts, as we know them today, began in 1958 with the design by Richard Hartley of the "Hartley 16".

Forgot to mention, did ask where it might of come from .2 theories. Passenger ships as stated in a couple of news reports and possibly with warming oceans travelled via warm currents, no mention of aquariums though. Possibly been here longer than they think.
Asian clams in Waikato river, no idea but deliberately released, they are only fumigating suspected containers where contents are unknown or from countries with known diseases, cannot detect everything.
There biggest concern is the Brown stink bug, not here yet but travels on anything, everything can be a host, unlike say Army worm which is established here, most likely travelled on plant material/soil. Being there host.
Concentration is based on pest etc that can effect our exports.

Broadly I agree with what youre saying. Its the three monkeys in action. Imagine if a coordinated regionwide program was initiated to identify seaweed. It is so easy these days, I mean take a cellphone picture of what you find on your anchor or beach or dive and text it to 0800 seaweed with time and place, in fact the photo usually contains that metadata anyway!
How hard could it be? People do care, people do want to preserve the wilderness, how about let them in on it so they can play an active role and not solely be on the receiving end of bans with no end in sight which appear to be based on science that is incomplete?
Was talking too MPI today today,control not eradicate now. There thinking is treat it like didimo and are looking at getting moorings dropped at a few places where weed is to avoid anchoring.

I think a stop at the Mokes is logical. You can speed up the delivery by slowing the work down. Take a break to re-assess, check over, confirm your plan, etc.
That, and if I was a CG volunteer and was putting in that many hours, I'd want to take the chance to check out the Mokes on the way past. I've never been there.

What gets me also is the “throw it back”
So it can disperse in currents.Now thats a good idea🤣

Bugger me another species thats unwanted is now in the Waikato river.
Asian clams'
Initial checks have found the freshwater gold clam present over a 45-kilometre stretch of the Waikato River, from 1.5km upstream of Bob’s Landing, just upstream of Lake Karāpiro, and downriver to Hamilton.
Mr Anderson says the plan now is to search further, both within the Waikato River and in other rivers and lakes that are linked through human activity.

Currently, MNZ's opinion is that ANY $ changing hands is then commercial, profit or not. We don't wish to test it in court. Plus, using a member's boat for a learn to sail course most likely invalidates their insurance. The idea, in our case, is not profit making, but for the club and the promotion of safe sailing ...
It will be discussed further between MNZ and YNZ... and our club.
Be all good until theres a mishap.

Umm the current dumping zone is just behind the Barrier near the old munitions dumping area -not way past Cuvier like what was done in the eighties and nineties, this is used by Pine Harbour , Westypark and others from around Auckland-which is of course why the Barrier residents and Iwi were so up in arms about it being granted permission.
Yes that why I emailed Eugenie Sage,she was Minister at the time for eviroment?Got a wishy washy reply as I said with fan worm being in Auckland and dumping so close to barrier,wont be long before fan worm is established.

Haha been here since 2021 but no action till 2022
https://niwa.co.nz/news/marine-invader-caulerpa-triggers-biosecurity-response
Two new species of non-indigenous algae were discovered in mid-2021, identified by NIWA researchers as Caulerpa brachypus and Caulerpa parvifolia.
New Zealand has some native species of Caulerpa but the two species identified in 2021 showed similar characteristics to the highly invasive Caulerpa taxifolia that has been problematic overseas. Caulerpa taxifolia has been listed as a Notifiable Species under New Zealand’s Biosecurity Act since 2001.
The two new species of Caulerpa were found in a variety of habitats and depths near Aotea. They covered large areas of seafloor and appeared to spread quickly.
Both species were given the status of Unwanted Organisms under the Biosecurity Act in September 2021.
