Umupuia temporary closure 2008-20

DECISION: APPROVED

Introduction

Umupuia Beach closure area

A temporary closure to the harvest of cockles has applied to Umupuia Beach Manukau since 2008, in an effort to manage the over harvesting of cockles in the area. The temporary closure is for a 2-year period and is requested under section 186A of the Fisheries Act (1996).

Ngai Tai Umupuia Te Waka Totara Trust has made the closure applications for Umupuia Beach every two years as each section 186A notice is due to expire. The application is made to the Minister of Fisheries who then reviews the application and approves or amends the application.

The most recent application applies from 19 December 2020 and expires in December 2022.

Submission

In 2020 the New Zealand Sport Fishing Council did not submit in response to the temporary closure request, due to other commitments. In previous years the Council has submitted in support of temporary closure of Umupuia Beach under section 186A of the Fisheries Act, and would have supported the most recent application if resources were available at the time.
