PICL is available to assist PauaMacs and as an example PICL has been involved with PauaMacs in a supporting role assisting this PauaMac as it has struggled to get quota owner participation.

PICL has played a role in the Marine Reserve proposal at Nugget Point, the discussions that are occurring with Ngai Tahu re customary reserves, the setting up of the current CSO budgeting round and partaking in the series of industry meetings that were recently held to gauge the industries feeling on the status of each of the Paua stocks and what should be done towards the management of these fisheries.
