Protesting fishermen take to Auckland streets

From Saturday Morning, about 1 hour ago

Recreational fishermen from around the country are converging on Auckland this morning in protest of The Hauraki Gulf Marine Protection Act. The One Ocean Project is protesting rule changes which allow limited commercial fishing inside two new High Protection Areas.

Scott Malcon is one of the organisers of the protest, an avid fisherman, and the brand manager for Daiwa, one of the biggest tackle brands in New Zealand.
