BAN PUT ON NON-IWI HARVESTING FROM LAKE TAUPŌWith the summer fast approaching a ban has been put in place for non-Tūwharetoa people harvesting some species from Lake Taupō. During the summer months, people of Ngati Tūwharetoa harvest smelt, kōura (freshwater crayfish) and other indigenous fish from Taupō waters – but that right is exclusively given to people of the iwi. The season started on November 1 and Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board (TMTB) chief executive, Topia Rameka, said Ngati Tūwharetoa whanau will be active in the waterways harvesting smelt until the closure of the season on February 28, 2019..... www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/taupo-times/108555371/ban-put-on-noniwi-harvesting-from-lake-taup
