Keep catching large fish by helping NIWA
NIWA conducts year-round boat ramp surveys to get an idea of how many fish are being caught by recreational fishers every year. The surveys are completely voluntary, and all information is kept private.
What will they be doing?
✅ Asking questions about your catch – how many fish you’ve caught and what kind
✅ Asking where you caught the fish and what bait you used
✅ Asking how long you spent fishing
What they won’t be doing:
❌ Enforcing the law or checking that your catch meets the fishing rules
❌ Sharing your secret fishing spots
This information will go towards stock assessments and informing fisheries management settings, such as catch and size limits.
