The value of aquaculture in Southland extends beyond the contribution it makes to the local and national economies. A 2015 study on the social effects of aquaculture in Southland found that aquaculture had a highly positive impact on the Bluff and Stewart Island communities. The creation of employment as well as the contribution the companies and the employees are making means that Stewart Island and Bluff are significantly socially richer due to the presence of aquaculture. Something that's probably not well known is that the town of Te Ānau in my electorate is also the base of possibly the biggest crayfishing operation in New Zealand, and one of the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. They have their international headquarters, so to speak, in the town of Te Ānau, providing great local employment, and it's a fantastic story for regional New Zealand and for my electorate. And I see opposite me a local who knows well the value that this adds to the Te Ānau community.
