The toxic shellfish health warning has been lifted for the Eastern Bay of Plenty, ending seven weeks of concern.

“We know the shellfish warning has been an inconvenience over the summer holiday period and we want to thank everyone for their cooperation,” says Toi Te Ora – Public Health Medical Officer of Health Jim Miller.
Shellfish and water samples will continue to be tested weekly. For more information on the monitoring programme go to www.nzfsa.govt.nz
