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.

Marlborough Sounds. (1.5MB)
