Aquaculture Reforms Paper C

Recognition of Existing Fisheries Rights Holders

Document format: pdf

Publisher: New Zealand Office of the Minister for the Environment

Creation date: 2001

This paper seeks the Committee's agreement to retain in fisheries legislation the existing undue adverse effect on fishing test. This test recognises the potential impact of aquaculture development on fisheries rights holders by ensuring that aquaculture development does not have an undue adverse effect on fishing. Where there are undue adverse effects on commercial fisheries, the paper considers two options. Retaining the status quo where there is no express provision in law for commercial agreements and therefore development is precluded or providing an alternative option which would allow development where agreement can be reached between aquaculture interests and commercial fisheries rights holders to address undue adverse effects.
