Local Matters - Kawau boaties move to ban dredging


Kawau boaties move to ban dredging
Jon Whisker says the club is committed to taking up the cause.
The Kawau Boating Club has unanimously voted to ban scallop dredging around the island and in Kawau Bay.
It is a voluntary ban that members have agreed to, and the club is calling on Mahurangi residents to join them.
Club captain Jon Whisker says the club is assembling marine ecology experts and will begin lobbying the government for an enforced regional ban.
He says dredges rip up the seafloor and crush scallop eggs before they can mature.
“It’s a great recreational fishery, but if we keep dragging on the ocean floor, there won’t be any scallops left to catch,” he says.
