New Zealand Paua and Crayfish

Found this spot at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Cant believe its not a marine reserve. Footage is a bit shaky because I was using one of those masks with a camera mounted in it. Hundreds and hundreds of Paua, generally in less than 2 meters of water. Get your limit of 10 by only getting your ankles wet. The majority of the Paua shown here are well over the 125mm needed to take legally. Its just nice knowing that there are still some unspoiled places out there. Crayfish nest is shown near the end of the video and the fish about half way through is called a Blue Moki.

not that I really want to engage in this debate... but Maori interests own over 60% of the NZ fisheries quota (and good on them! I'm not criticising).

@fatfeet91 Funny it's the white man that sells off most of New Zealands seafood while putting limits on New Zealanders catch so they can sell more thru qouta. Go figure.
