Poachers on Mellons Bay Beach
There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.
They have been warned by beach lovers many times.
Yesterday the woman took 3/4 carrier bags full away off the beach. I stopped the male and took another full bag from him.
The limit is 50 per person per day,
Fisheries are aware and have photos and videos of the individuals, What we do not have so far is a car number plate.
If you are there at low tide please watch out for them at the far end of the beach. Do not confront them but if you can get a number plate do call fisheries.
We need to protect our beaches and residents from all greedy people.
Thank you.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
