With a view to stopping this depletion of the coastal fishing grounds, organisations in Whangarei are approaching the Minister of Marine, the Hon. P. Fraser, with the request that an inspector bo appointed to the area. When the matter was considered at a meeting of the Whangarei Harbour Board to-day, it was decided to support the proposal.
