Repeat pāua poachers from Wellington and Napier banned from fishing for 3 years

Source: Ministry for Primary Industries
A Lower Hutt man and a Napier man have each received 3-year fishing bans for repeatedly taking excess and undersize pāua, in recent years.
The men were sentenced in different courts for the unrelated offending yesterday.
Under the Fisheries Act 1996, bans are mandatory for anyone who commits certain offences more than once within 7 years.
In 2019 Ionatana Sasi (51) was caught with 144 undersize pāua he took at Eastbourne near Burdan’s Gate in Wellington. It was the second time in 4 years that Mr Sasi has been before the court for stealing pāua in this area.
