Poachers on Mellons Bay Beach
There are a male and female Chinese couple who are regularly stealing the rock oysters from Mellons Bay Beach.
They have been warned by beach lovers many times.
Yesterday the woman took 3/4 carrier bags full away off the beach. I stopped the male and took another full bag from him.
The limit is 50 per person per day,
Fisheries are aware and have photos and videos of the individuals, What we do not have so far is a car number plate.
If you are there at low tide please watch out for them at the far end of the beach. Do not confront them but if you can get a number plate do call fisheries.
We need to protect our beaches and residents from all greedy people.
Thank you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
