Review of the Aquaculture Legislation
Recognising that a regulatory knot had stifled aquaculture development following the lifting of the moratorium on aquaculture in 2004, early last year the Government formed an Aquaculture Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to provide it with recommendations “to enable the development of sustainable aquaculture.”
On November the 5th 2009 at the national Cawthron Aquaculture New Zealand conference, the Minister of Fisheries released the TAG’s report entitled “Re-starting Aquaculture” (the Report) on 5 November 2009 (Download the TAG report here).
