Fisheries New Zealand is seeking feedback on whether:

• a further temporary closure of the Southern Scallop fishery (SCA7) should be implemented for the coming scallop season, which starts on 15^th July 2018
• the small Port Underwood recreational fishery, which is immediately adjacent to (but not part of) SCA7, should also be closed to protect it from increased harvest pressure.
