flag New Zealand proposes tighter rock lobster rules in Gisborne/East Cape/Māhia to aid recovery, while Otago may see increased harvest.

flag New Zealand is seeking public feedback on proposed changes to rock lobster fisheries in the Gisborne/East Cape/Māhia (CRA 3) and Otago (CRA 7) regions as part of its twice-yearly sustainability review. flag While CRA 7 is considered healthy and may support increased harvest, CRA 3 remains under pressure despite prior catch reductions and voluntary industry cuts. flag Proposed measures aim to support recovery in CRA 3 through adjusted catch limits and management practices. flag A separate review of Southern blue whiting (SBW 6B) is expected to begin in mid-January 2026. flag Submissions are open until January 28, 2026.
