A North Canterbury whitebaiter of almost 60 years says the Government is taking the wrong approach in its efforts to regulate the fishery.

Proposals out for public consultation include banning exports, restricting the equipment used, limiting upstream fishing, reducing the length of the season and closing some rivers for up to 10 years. DOC recommends the season be shortened two weeks, to between August 15 to November 15. Consultation closes on March 16.

Ashley Fishermen's Association president Doug Guthrie, who has been whitebaiting around North Canterbury since he was 13, said fingers were being pointed at fishermen but the underlying problem affecting fish stocks was a lack of water and a loss of habitat.

One way to take part is by joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group on your street.

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!
