Pāua ban extended for two more years along Hawke’s Bay coast
A ban on taking pāua along a large section of Hawke’s Bay coastline - including Waimārama - has been extended for another two years.
Ngāti Kahungunu chair Bayden Barber says it will “do a world of good for our pāua” and warns neighbouring areas may also follow suit with restrictions of their own.
The ban protects blackfoot pāua from being harvested around Waimārama and was introduced in December 2020 by Fisheries New Zealand.
