Abstract

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries authorizes a five day island-wide harvesting of white sea urchins (sea eggs). To ensure that the sea egg population is not over harvested, and that juveniles (young sea eggs) remain for the benefit of future harvests, all harvesters are required to adhere to the conditions set out in this Notice. Conditions concern size, use of gear, burying of shells and permit for exportation of urchins harvested. No one is to harvest in any Marine Reserve such as the Maria Island Nature Reserve and the reserves within SMMA and CAMMA.
