If you’ve been out fishing this summer, chances are you threw out the fish guts and frames when you came back in. But you might want to think twice about doing that from now on.
A group with a south Auckland marae is using that so-called “waste” to feed families.
The project has been so successful it’s looking to go nationwide.

Papatuanuku Kokiri marae is taking its no waste initiative to new heights, confronting nutritional, environmental and community issues by collecting unwanted fish waste from an Auckland boating club. The marae together with the Outboard Boating Club (OBC) have a community focused vision that ensures not a single fish off-cut goes to waste.
