Northland scallop season opens
Northland's scallop season opens on Saturday 1st September and runs through until the 31st of March. The Ministry for Primary Industries is reminding those taking scallops to be aware of their obligations. A few things to remember are:
- The minimum legal size for scallops is 100mm.
- The maximum daily limit is 20 per person
- One diver can also gather scallops for up to two other people acting in a dive safety capacity from that vessel.
- All scallops must be in a measurable state when taken ashore.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
