The Scallop season is now open and runs for seven months. Our season finishes on St Valentine’s day 14 February ’22. NB. shore divers in the Wellington area have a limit of 20 per person provided the shellfish are at greater than a minimum size of 100 mm across at their widest point. Measurement must be done underwater.
There are different quotas for local boat divers, and for other national regions. For details on the regulations for our area & every national region click on our website’s links page and then on ‘MPI Fishing Regulations’. Our area is ‘Central Area’.
