GAME-FISH CATCHES POLLUTE THE BEACHES
(THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Friday. CPORTSMEN who go after the mako shark and swordfish in northern waters are to be discouraged from leaving their trophies on or close to the beach in future. Mr. Tau Henare, the member for Northern Maori, complained in the House of Representatives this afternoon that deep-sea anglers, after weighing their fish, threw them overboard and left them to wash about on the beaches, causing a nuisance to Maori villages. The Minister of Marine (Hon. G. J. Anderson) said that his department would see that that was stopped. It seined to him anything but sporting that these fishermen should bring in their big fish, weigh them, and throw them overboard close to the beaches; they should be taken out beyond the three-mile limit. “This season,” said the Minister, “the department will have a ranger there to see that nothing of that sort is done that will affect the health of the villagers.”
