Government seeks urgent advice on how to protect Auckland rockpools

The New Zealand government is seeking urgent advice on how to protect Auckland's rockpools, which residents claim have been stripped bare of sealife by visitors. A demonstration was held at Army Bay in Whangaparāoa, and the Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust has requested a two-year fisheries ban across parts of the north Auckland coastline. The issue has been attributed to a cultural clash, with some migrant communities not adhering to Kiwi ways.
