Illegal fishing in our gully streams

It is illegal to fish streams within the city without a permit under the Hamilton City Park, Domains and Reserves Bylaw 2019 s8.2. The streams that run through Mangaiti are home for a number of indigenous freshwater species. Our restoration efforts of planting the stream banks are to create a supportive environment for these species. Signs, both ours and councils, have been put up throughout the gully yet still some people seem to think it is their right to decimate the indigenous biodiversity that our volunteers work so hard to support. This is both disappointing and frustrating.
