The term “shark”, as used generally in this document, refers to all sharks, rays, skates, chimaeras and other members of the Class Chondrichthyes. Some of these species support significant commercial fisheries, are prized as recreational game fishing species, and/or are of special significance to Maori. Some are also recognised as regionally or globally threatened or en dangered. Some shark species reside exclusively in our waters, while others also occur on the high seas and in other fisheries jurisdictions. -

No results found.Sharks have been unfairly characterised as callous hunters. In reality it is the sharks that are hunted, both commercially and recreationally, and many of the world’s shark stocks are at risk from over-fishing. We now know that sharks play an important role in maintaining a healthy ocean ecosystem. The New Zealand EEZ is home to over 100 species of shark. New Zealand has a global responsibility to manage and conserve our shark species. The Ministry of Fisheries has produced this National Plan of Action for Sharks to address this responsibility consistent with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisations International Plan of Action for Sharks (IPOA – Sharks).
