First meeting of Fisheries Liaison Group – draft minutes available
February 21st, 2019
The Fisheries Liaison Group, a group of 12 commercial and recreational fishers, divers and Napier Port representatives, met for the first time on Thursday 14 February 2019.
Led by Independent Chair Eileen von Dadelszen, the group was established following the approval of Napier Port’s resource consents to build a new wharf and carry out further dredging and disposal so more and larger ships can berth at Napier Port as the region grows.
One of the group’s first tasks is to provide input into three management plans Napier Port is producing to ensure it has strong plans and effective monitoring in place to protect the water quality and ensure the fishing stock is not impacted as a result of disposal and dredging.
The group will meet quarterly or as otherwise agreed by the representatives and minutes will be published on the Napier Port website. The draft minutes from the group’s first meeting can be found here.
At the United Nations summit meeting in September 2015, world leaders adopted 17 global goals (and 169 targets) as a set of universal goals that aim to address the urgent environmental, political and economic challenges facing our world. These are known as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
