National Sea Run Salmon Committee

Following on from the 2017 Salmon Symposium - Turning the Tide, The New Zealand Fish and Game Council has formed the National Sea Run Salmon Committee.

The New Zealand Government expects Fish & Game New Zealand to oversee the effective management of the country’s sports fish and game resources carried out by 12 regions. To do this the Fish & Game New Zealand Council has a number of formal statutory powers, but the need for the whole organisation to work co-operatively in the interests of anglers and hunters is just as important.

Both the New Zealand Fish & Game Council and the 12 regional Fish & Game councils are public entities. They are not a government department and are not funded by taxpayers.
