Mana Crusing Club is supporting club members in their effort to eradicate rats from Pickersgill / Matapara Island in the Queen Charlotte Sound. The club members formed “Cook Strait Pest Control” Charitable trust (CSPC). The Trust operates in conjunction with DOC and Te Atiawa Trust, who are the guardians of the Island.The objective is to contribute to the environment of the Sounds in a positive way and ultimately to prepare the Island to receive Native Birds and possibly Tuatara as a grow out sanctuary.
Significant changes to New Zealand’s fisheries regulations are currently underway, with the Fisheries Amendment Bill 2026 introduced to Parliament on March 18, 2026. More information found here
Tim Costley, the MP for Otaki has approached the club seeking a meeting to gather input from fishers and we will be holding a public meeting at 1930hrs on Monday the 20th of April.
Note that Tim has made it very clear this is not a party-political rally, and he respects that the club must remain apolitical,
His secretary has outlined the request as “If attendees had questions and you sent that to us beforehand so Tim can be a little bit more prepared. He won’t have all the answers though. The main reason for this public meeting will be so that Tim can hear everyone’s thoughts on the Fisheries Bill. He can then take all of that feedback to Parliament. He is just really keen to hear people’s thoughts so that government can get it right with this bill. That will be the main goal for this meeting to hear from the public. “
Tim wants to hear YOUR views so he can feed this back to the government. If you would your views heard on the future of our fishery, this is your chance to talk directly with a crown minister. Make sure you mark your diary and attend the meeting and have your voice heard.
