Soundfish is a group of representatives from the customary, recreational and commercial fishing sectors operating in the Marlborough Sounds. We are passionate about and well-acquainted with the Sounds and can see the escalating pressure on fish stocks in our region. It has become obvious that to make sure everyone’s experience in the Marlborough Sounds continues to be enjoyable and sustainable we need to do something about managing the effects of this pressure.

"Provide a cohesive community based strategy that will ensure the long term viability of the Marlborough Sounds fishery
