CHATHAMS FLEET
Discussions On Limits <N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 1. Marine Department officers and representatives of the Federation of Commercial Boat Owners will discuss limiting the number of crayfishing boats operating at the Chatham Islands. The Secretary of Marine (Mr R. N. Kerr) said today the talks would take place at the federation’s conference in August; “It has been suggested by some of the people operating at the Chathams that the limit has been reached as to the number of boats which can be sheltered at the various anchorages in extreme weather,” he said. Last week there were 156 boats operating at the Chatham Islands, and another nine were on their way to the crayfishing grounds, he said.
