- Action to include a voluntary ban on all take of scallops over summer
The decline in scallop numbers on the eastern side of Coromandel Peninsula has prompted Opito Bay locals to join forces and initiate a programme to restore stocks of the delicacy, starting with a survey to establish how many scallops actually remain in the Bay.
The survey was officially launched at a ceremony this morning (Thursday 17 December) by NgÄti Hei.
The community is also supporting a voluntary ban on all take of scallops over the summer prior to NgÄti Hei putting a formal rÄhui in place.
