LEGASEA – For years we have been limited to raising awareness of the issues affecting our fisheries and coastal waters so it’s a real buzz to share with you our reform package – Rescue Fish.

Rescue Fish is our best endeavour to inspire change so our fisheries can become more abundant and we can enjoy a healthier marine environment. We understand change is difficult. That is why LegaSea is working with a range of organisations and individuals to discuss and debate the merits of reform and how Rescue Fish will benefit us and future generations of Kiwis.
