DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE HARVEST STANDARD BY SANZ

Our coastal resources are managed under the regulations of the Ministry of Fisheries of the New Zealand Government.  SANZ is currently developing a standard to ensure that Beachcast and free-floating seaweed, which is harvested around the New Zealand coastline, ensures economic and environmental sustainability into the  future. 

Once this standard is trialled and operational, it will be expanded to include cut seaweed from our coastal waters.

If you wish to contribute to the development of this standard, then please email  the Secretary seaweed@wave.co.nz.
