Gathering shellfish in Auckland's Cockle Bay is no longer permitted, as a year-round ban on collection comes into force tomorrow.

Fisheries New Zealand enforced the closure after research showed a significant drop in the number of large cockle in the area.

In a statement, Fisheries New Zealand's manager inshore fisheries north, Jacob Hore, said that this ban was in place to help the population recover and will be reviewed after a period of three years.

"We use the best available science and information to determine if changes are required to management settings to ensure our fisheries remain sustainable. This information, along with feedback through public consultation, shaped our advice to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries on his decision to implement a full year-round closure at Cockle Bay/Tuwakamana," he said.

What you need to know:

- There is a ban on gathering any intertidal shellfish including cockles, green lipped mussels, oysters, crabs, limpets, starfish, periwinkles, whelks, barnacles, and snails.
- Signs have been updated and fisheries officers will be regularly patrolling the area.
- The closure will be reviewed after three years.

Fisheries NZ is encouraging beach-goers who see any suspicious activity to report it to 0800 4 POACHER (0800 47 62 24)

Hi Auckland,

What are your water-saving hacks?

Water restrictions for the city are to remain in place until August, and similar bans on water use may return next summer.

Watercare is set to ask council to remove restrictions on outdoor water use, if rain forecasts, the state of the region’s storage lakes, and a new supply boost all eventuate as hoped.

Watercare said Aucklanders had significantly cut water use, and the biggest supply boost – another 50 million litres a day from the Waikato River – should be available from August.

Presently, Auckland's dams are 51.4 per cent full compared with an average of 76.6, and Auckland's water usage is more than 10 per cent lower than Watercare had estimated.

Share your saving tips below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used in your local community paper.

PM me for pricing and details. Prices start at $20 (for a scarf) but most are higher so if you're looking for cheap, the dairy might be able to help ;)

A first step to reduce stress - crunch on autumn leaves!

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, did you know that paying attention to your body with a friendly attitude is a first step to reducing stress?

For example, you might feel into the sensation of the soles of your feet as you stand, wait in a queue, walk on grass or sand - or autumn leaves! It can be as easy as that.

Hi Neighbours, did you know that paying attention to your body with a friendly attitude is a first step to reducing stress?

For example, you might feel into the sensation of the soles of your feet as you stand, wait in a queue, walk on grass or sand - or autumn leaves! It can be as easy as that.

Being in the present moment like this creates a sense of stability, an anchor for ourselves that helps ease the mind and reduce chronic stress.
