Changes to the recreational fishing rules in Fiordland has been welcomed by the area's Marine Guardians.
Under the changes, fishing lines will be drawn at the entrance to each fiord and the number of finfish able to be caught within reduced.
Chairperson Dr Rebecca McLeod says there has been growing concern about the sustainability of fisheries resources within the marine area and these changes will help support that.
Dr Rebecca McLeod spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
