Beware of toxic shellfish on the Northland west coast
A warning has been issued not to collect or eat shellfish caught from the Northland west coast. This applies to the non-commercial (recreational and traditional) taking of shellfish only.
Ingesting shellfish with this toxic algae present will cause a range of symptoms from tingling around your face and hands, to vomiting, paralysis, respiratory failure and in severe cases, death.
Those affected can phone Healthline for advice on 0800 611 116 or seek medical attention immediately, ensuring you keep any remaining shellfish for testing.
The areas affected include Waipapakauri on 90 Mile Beach, south to Pouto Point on the northern head of the Kaipara Harbour as well as Herekino, Whangape and Hokianga Harbours.
The Ministry of Primary Industries are urging residents to spread the word and you can find more information at the link below.
