The Marlborough Sounds Fisheries Management Group has now been constituted into an incorporated society, known as SoundFish. The first task of the Society will be to explore ways in which the Blue Cod fishery in the Marlborough Sounds can be protected and enhanced and to make representations to the Ministry of Fisheries accordingly. Extensive research into the Blue Cod fishery has been carried out for a number of years and it is plainly evident that the decline in the catchable Blue Cod stock is a result of recreational fishery pressure.
