Golden Bay residents are pushing for tighter controls on the marine farming industry which is rapidly taking off in the area.
Six locals have formed a group called the Marine Farming Impact Group, to raise awareness of the problems that marine farming is creating as well as encouraging the industry to carry out their work responsibly for both residents and the environment.
Rod Barker from the group tells Jesse why they are so concerned.
