Demo'd a Dash 8 200 MPA (maritime patrol aircraft) to the Kiwi customs and fisheries 18 months or so back. We flew over an area that had previously been covered by a P3 and they advised us that they didnt expect to find much out there. To their dismay we found allsorts of illegal fishing type activities by foriegn vessels well inside the NZ Economic zone along with quite a few dubious looking "local" type vessels with no rego markingsdoing the same. The fisho's were literally frothing at the mouth at what they saw. Obviously the front line were convinced that NZ needs an upgrade of its fisheries protection however it certainly hasn't filtered back to the those in the beehive.
