Development Agency regional development and attraction manager Hannah Norton said Nelson has the biggest fishing port in Australasia and the sector was critical for the area. Each of the three companies had hundreds of roles available, both seasonal and permanent, she said. "For the upcoming hoki season there is definitely an urgency to get the workers in, but since the Covid lockdown began there have been roles not being filled due to the lack of overseas workers that are ongoing too. But right now the timing is around that critical seasonal influx that is coming up."

NRDA regional development and attraction manager Hannah Norton said the move from fruit-picking to fisheries was “a natural extension” of the NRDA’s work in the region. “We have the largest fishing port in Australasia, and over 70 per cent of New Zealand’s aquaculture is located here in Te Tauihu,” she said. “The seafood sector is a critical economic driver for our region. With our borders remaining closed, there’s a shortage of workers for both seasonal and permanent work ... it was a natural extension to partner with the seafood sector to support their recruitment drive on behalf of the region.”
