A Taranaki iwi is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to make the most of a two-year legal ban on collecting shellfish from the region's west coast.
The Ministry for Primary Industries is warning visitors to Taranaki this summer they could face hefty fines if they collect kaimoana - except crayfish - along the New Plymouth to Ōpunakē coastline.
The government has banned collection of kaimoana from 70 kilometres of the Taranaki coast, giving legal backing to a rāhui that hapū placed on the area in January.
