About the company…
We are a not-for-profit structured alliance of the owners of quota in New Zealand’s deepwater fisheries. Our role is to provide a professional capacity to unite quota owners, to assist them to maintain sustainable harvest levels from our deepwater fisheries, to manage any environmental effects of these fishing activities, and to facilitate further economic and social prosperity of our seafood sector. We have strong working relationships with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), Fisheries New Zealand (FNZ), the Department of Conservation (DOC), and others to optimise the sustainable harvests from New Zealand’s deepwater fisheries resources. Our offices are in Auckland’s CBD.
The company was established in 2005 by quota owners in recognition of the need for innovative, unified, professional, and proactive approaches that underpin their businesses with effective and sustainable fisheries management practices and responsible marine environmental management. These approaches recognise the global and domestic challenges the seafood industry faces.
We are actively engaged in the science and management systems that underpin the sustainable management of our deepwater fisheries and the oceanic environment that supports them to ensure there is a secure future for the next generations.
Our collective vision is to be trusted as the best managed deepwater fisheries in the world. A vision we actively work towards every day.
