Coastwatch follows Fishery Officers from The Ministry for Primary Industries, NZ Airforce and Navy personnel, and the Maritime Police. Greenstone gets up close and personal to find out what’s involved in patrolling and enforcing the law that protects our coastlines, water-ways and billion dollar Kai-moana industries.
We also follow the men and women volunteering for Northland Regions Coastguard, and the Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopter. Tasked with responding to mayday calls, medical emergencies, on-water breakdowns and accidents, they keep our waterways, and those on them, safe. The Maritime Police, along with the Police National Dive Squad, are also on high alert for any maritime emergencies.

The fines are not enough boys and girls

[@dvt6481]

Wow , the fines are lite compared to the u.s .

[@katcas94]

Some of the fishermen are level story tellers

[@leesaunders7064]

Some of these fisherman are JRR Tolkien -level story tellers. Their ability to create a narrative under pressure is something else....

[@adrianwilson2325]

Take his vehicle Lock him Up for good

[@cazsmith2358]

The cats eye guy knew damn well what he was doing! "Oh my other friend was here too!! But I don't know know his number..." liar.

[@fionamackie3357]

Yeah, and he left without taking his share. Riiiiight.

[@Greg_gregson]

I thought they'd be more into dogs eyes

[@tombown9960]

Amazing only been in NZ two months, has car and taking over daily limit of shellfish already, don’t believe a word of it!

[@sooweeq123]

The United States is pretty good. Cat. Can't catch everyone. Generally, and from my experience of fishing for forty years, Asians are lawless fishers in the U.S. They keep everything no matter what, without discrimination.

[@DerekReeve-q4v]

True. Trips around the coast show Asians in particular absolutely raping the shellfish beds. I wish they would stop, but!!!!!!!

[@boohoo3805]

A $250 fine😢

[@dontmindmanny3363]

They know what they are doing is wrong they don’t care your fines are weak!!

[@johnbell2677]

[@deanfulford69]

You fullas are on a hiding to nowhere with the pathetic penalties. There's no incentive for these people to abide, they'll just keeping gouging the resource.

[@UnicornBliss27]
