PARE HAURAKI IWI AUTHORISED TO APPLY FOR FISH FARMINGThe Waikato is on track to establish the North Island’s first offshore fin fish farm which will be for a new commercial species – kingfish. Waikato Regional Council has granted Pare Hauraki Kaimoana authority to apply for resource consents to occupy 240 hectares of fin fish farming space in the Firth of Thames following a tender process. The space, known as the Coromandel Marine Farming Zone, is located about 10 kilometres offshore of Coromandel Town. Pare Hauraki Kaimoana propose farming kingfish in the space and the authorisation means they now have two years to prepare and submit an application for the necessary resource consents...... www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK1809/S00638/pare-hauraki-iwi-authorised-to-apply-for-fish-farming.htm
