Opposition fisheries spokesperson Ian McKelvie says local councils can now apply fishing bans wherever they see fit.
He says getting out on the water and putting a line out is a great privilege - and central Government should keep control.
McKelvie wants a law change - and wider consultation in any future talks about fishing around Motiti.
