Regarding bikes, we set up a robust reporting system in the bikeHub for our AT funding and are assisting around 15% of the island's residents! Which is a massive % for bikes as transport and fun for NZ standards!

Maximum 6 metre tinny fishing between Autumn and Winter only targeting kāhawai, grey mullet and trevally, selling to local markets vs a $100K plus Surtees stacked with $1000+ rods and reels targeting snapper and kingfish.

Fish for the people eh.
