Fish for the Future

The New Zealand Sport Fishing Council Inc (NZSFC) (formerly known as the New Zealand Big Game Fishing Council or the NZBGFC) is proud to introduce the Hiwi the Kiwi Goes Fishing project to the school children of New Zealand. With New Zealand being a country where you are never far from the sea, the NZSFC believes that it is best to educate our children from an early age on how to best enjoy, manage, protect and preserve our marine environment.
Everybody knows that eating fish is healthy. Going fishing is also recognised as one of the most popular, not to mention healthy, activities undertaken by Kiwis, with over 1 in 4 ‘having a go' at it each year. As Kiwis we all want to ‘do the right thing'.
Mark de Lacy aka "The Minstrel" and Hiwi the Kiwi are already well known to a generation of Kiwi school children with their road show having toured extensively, entertaining and inspiring tens of thousands of children over the past 10 years.
