Aquaculture Reforms Paper E

Transition of Existing Fish Farming Approvals Into the New Regime for Aquaculture

Document format: pdf

Publisher: New Zealand Office of the Minister for the Environment

Creation date: 2001

We propose that all marine farms, whether established under the Marine Farming Act 1971 (MFA), or under the joint Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and Fisheries Act 1983 (FA83) marine farming permit regime, be transferred into the new regime proposed for aquaculture.This transfer is to be undertaken in line with the general policy agreed to during the development of the Resource Management (Marine Farming and Heritage Provisions) Amendment Bill. Although many of the provisions of this Bill have now been overtaken by the current reform, the Bill does contain detailed transitional arrangements that can usefully form the basis of the proposed transfer of marine farm leases and licences into the new regime.

We also propose that all land-based fish farms currently established under a licence issued under the Freshwater Fish Farming Regulations 1983 will be deemed to be registered as fish farms under the Fisheries Act 1996 (FA96).
