Between two of us, within a single hour - an astonishing catch of 27 good size fish, 14 snapper, the rest kahawai, gurnard, and koheru. Such fishing we haven't experienced in decades!

Ray and I started to fish and within a minute I had hooked my first fish, under Maori culture your first fish is released, I was a bit sad but no sooner had my hook hit the bottom again than I had another bite.

Having done some research on sustainable fishing methods, visiting the Opotiki Community Reef site was incredibly interesting. It is an excellent example of what can be done to ensure that fish populations thrive in the future.

Want the fish you eat to be organic?
It's no longer a dream or science fiction, the reality is that here and now we can be doing things to grow more fish in the sea. A combination of science, indigenous cultural perspectives (kaitiakitanga), some concrete, a boat and your involvement are all that is needed to start growing more fish in the sea.With fish and other seafood providing a major source of clean healthy organic protein, investing some time and energy into learning about how to grow more fish in the sea makes good sense. This is truly the era when mankind can work in partnership with nature.
Just like planting a garden, except on the sea floor, reefs provide much needed structure for marine life on otherwise featureless seabed. Our 'voyages' in awareness take you deeper than deployed modules, and engage more subtle Maori environmental management practices (Kaitiakitanga) and our connection with marine life.
Our heritage waterfront accommodation at The Wharf Hub offers a donation land based marine life tour with every stay and our distinctive 'voyages' (workshops) will take you to places beyond.
The Wharf Hub
