More than 200 people attended the Protecting the Sea on Our Doorstep event on Whitianga. “Hauraki Gulf’s story is not a great one,” Hauraki Gulf Forum CEO Alex Rogers said. Speaking to a packed crowd in Whitianga, he said the gulf was under significant pressure. The 2020 State of our Gulf report, produced every three years, depicted a collapsed ecosystem due to overfishing, invasive fishing practices, marine dumping and sediment and nutrient runoff, he said. Since 2000, snapper, tarakihi and crayfish have been at, or have fallen to, levels requiring action to actively rebuild stocks. Scallop, mussel, crayfish and pāua populations have also been declining for decades.

Snapper is the main fish species caught by recreational fishermen. But cuts in bag limits, increased size limits and fewer recreational fishermen have contributed to a fall in the number of fish being caught.
Crayfish are “functionally extinct” in some areas of the Hauraki Gulf, snapper and tarakihi populations are struggling and scallop beds have been stripped bare in the eastern Coromandel. Over the past three years various reports have recorded an overall collapse in marine life in Hauraki Gulf and Thames-Coromandel waters, prompting locals to call for expansion of protected areas and rāhui in different iwi rohe.

Organisers of a community event designed to discuss the health of marine life around the Coromandel Peninsula are calling for interested parties to attend and take part in a discussion on how to manage human impact on marine eco-systems.
In June, scientists, conservationists, iwi leaders, local officials, recreational and commercial fishers, among others, will come together in Whitianga to learn about the state of our coastal marine ecosystems and the need for greater protection.
