For New Zealand Fishing News magazine, issue October 2013
Any day now we expect to receive the Minister’s decision on the future management of Snapper 1. Reaching this decision will not be an easy task for Nathan Guy. On the one hand Guy is being reassured by the Ministry for Primary Industries that he can legally treat us, the public, as if we are part of the quota system. On the other, he is getting a very strong message from the NZ Sport Fishing Council and our supporters that we are not part of the QMS and we will not accept a fixed, proportional share of the fishery.
