Species photo for dredge_oyster.jpgThe dredge oyster fishery in Foveaux Strait, world famous as the home of Bluff Oysters, is one of New Zealand's most iconic fisheries. MFish, tangata whenua and stakeholders developed a plan for the fishery in 2007. Stakeholders have supported this choice, as an opportunity to build on the work done over the past 100 years to sustainably manage the fishery.
