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.

A huge salute to the unwavering dedication and courage of our fishery officers who safeguard our oceans from poaching threats. Your tireless efforts are truly commendable! 💙🌊

[@toddolsen5421]

what happens to all the frozen paua?

[@jasonfox6013]

We NEED to bump up the peniltys these guys are getting a slap on the hand what a joke to the rest of NZ

[@michaelwarden5349]

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR COMING BACK ON. PLEASE TAKE YOUR SHOWS COMING ON.

[@SlickBubbles]

It's great to see that somewhere in the world there are serious consequences for illegal activities and that people aren't getting off with technicalities! In addition it's great to see officers eager to do the work they were hired for. This is often not the case in North America from what I've observed.

[@katcas94]

Thank you for the love

[@frwansie]

Thanks to the fisheries officers. My issue remains with the fines/sentencing.... Paua poaching is worth tens of millions but the fines are laughable and this must change!

[@user-tn1fz6rb7i]

great vid'

[@yetti4817]

The fines are meaningless.

[@boogieheads]

the fishery in california USA is completely dead from overfishing

[@RealLifeRescue]

That's so sad 😢

[@bigfoot3322]

People who are on government welfare shouldn't have to pay fine. Because the money they pay comes from tax payers so essentially they are paying a fine with someone else's money. They should be sent to prison instead.

[@gregwaghorn8496]

Send to White Island. Prison isn't a sentence, it's retirement. Concrete floors, and a bucket is the penalty

[@TimothyMatthews-rd2zr]

Agreed.

First love you guys

[@jeremywanner4526]

At least its snails and not fentanyl

[@hangtyme2598]

What does Power refer to? Like muscle and clams ?

[@RealLifeRescue]

Pāua is a type of sea snail 🐌

[@alankilduff3207]

If found with illegal Paua in their house the house should be taken as well

[@MrMarkar1959]

Stopped Nothing if the Criminals still Breathe

[@nathanlam9884]

The sentence that was given is a joke! No wonder why they keep doing it

[@don7294]

When giving serious criminals home detention and community service they realize that crime pays well in NZ. Why stop when there are no real consequences?

[@Etama-tx1gd]

When you see Maori orchestrating the offending it contradicts the stance of what they protect

[@shsuususjssnjsus8239]

So what they look for it looks like a rock or is it a fish

[@beachforestmountain4269]

Shellfish called Paua (pronounced Pa-wa).

[@jamielee9350]

@@beachforestmountain4269 Commonly known as Abalone in Australia and the U.S. In the U.K. there are only 20 days in a year were you are allowed to harvest them.

[@jeremywanner4526]

Its a snail

[@tombown9960]

Home detention, waste your f time, community work another joke
