OYSTERS It may surprise many pecple to know that Maoris enjoy special privileges with rock oysters. They have their own beds from which they are allowed to pick what they want for their own use, but not for sale or barter. There is one Maori oyster bed in the Manakau district, near the Needles, and it is marked as a Maori fishery. Other areas are at Jones Peninsula in Whangaroa Harbour, part of the foreshore in the Mangonui Inlet, part of Whangaruru Harbour, and several areas in Kaisara Harbour. Picking is allowed only in the normal oyster season. Of all the Maori beds. that in Whangaruru Harbour is in the best condition Maori leaders exercise control over picking.
