Soundfish objectives cover a range of areas
from promoting a healthy marine environment to promoting community
knowledge and ownership of the Marlborough Sounds fishery.
These objectives, at first glance, may seem odd for a group with
“Fish” in its name.
That is because Soundfish is fundamentally about doing well the
things that will lead to an abundance of fish and shellfish in the
Sounds that we and future generations can enjoy.
"A Marlborough Sounds fishery that is
strong, diverse
and accessible, and, sustains the community's
needs into the future".
Having a healthy and abundant resource of kai
moana in the Sounds will be the direct result of creating and
maintaining a healthy marine environment, working with all the
agencies and interest groups that individually and collectively
manage the different elements of the environment and resources and
educating managers, users and consumers of the resource to take
responsibility for ensuring there is – more than - enough left for
tomorrow.
