There Are None Left In Auckland

They are disappearing. There are none left in inner Hauraki Gulf around Auckland. Unfortunately too many divers see these animals as a dish and nothing more. They cannot, or do not want to see them as an important part of the coastal ecosystem. What has to happen so we we start behave differently and change the rules?
